Anthony Cody struggles to make sense of the tragedy, as do we all.

Anthony quotes Fred Rogers, who remembered his mother’s advice:

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.”

Who are the helpers? The millions who dedicate their lives to nurturing and educating children.

Shame the “Cowardly ones among us [who] accuse these people, who work to fight inequity, of being the very reason such inequities exist.”
