This week on American Classroom, hosts Jared Taylor and Lindsey Crosland sit down with Vanessa Whitener—mom, educator, and former school board member—to explore the urgent issue of school safety. Vanessa shares how a systems-based approach, involving parents, faith leaders, law enforcement, and policymakers, can create safer, more supportive schools.
