In this article it speaks of an organization called teachers for social justice. This group lobbies for new ways to help schools after what had happened in Newtown Connecticut, such as hiring for school resource officers as well as more guidance counselors to not only make children feel safe, but give them a way to vent and talk about their problems with a professional counselor. Obama has already put into action a four step plan to help provide more social justice to class rooms to be able to help benefit the students. One part of his plan is to provide more access to mental health services as well. What this does is adds more ways for a child who is having irrational or misunderstood thoughts more outlets to be able to get their problems out.

On this issue i know i stand with more social justice within the classrooms of America. Children need to know that they are at school to help find themselves and flourish into an adult. If they feel they have no where to go with their problems, then more and more children are going to struggle when they just need someone to be able to talk to.
