My first column for Philadelphia Magazine ran last week (read it here).
It isn’t the only place you’ll see my writing (The Guardian US will have a new op-ed piece this week), but it is a place you’ll regularly see my writing … so meet you there every Wednesday!
My opinion column appeared yesterday at the Guardian:
After Sandy Hook, students across America have seen schools introduce active shooter simulations involving gunfire, masked men running down school halls and “victims”. These drills are realistic, and in some cases, downright terrifying. Arguments that support them hinge on the belief that the verisimilitude predicts actual behavior and increases the chance of survivability in a real event. That may well be true, but it ignores the fact that active shooter drills themselves can leave scars.
