1-9-15: “I don’t understand what youth are dealing with in their schools every day. I didn’t realize. My daughter, who’s a senior at Harding, says they see fights on the regular. I mean, growing up, I didn’t understand when she came home and said ‘There was a fight today’ that it happened in front of her, and she saw police rassle them to the ground. That’s just not the atmosphere I saw growing up. And she’s in an IB program. Their atmosphere is not one I pretend to know the answers to.”
