****

*Topic of discussion: *****

As the country debates moving forward on gun control legislation, beginning
with the topic of guns in schools, we want to give you a chance to express
and debate what is important to you. ****

At Youth Radio, we've been covering school
lockdowns<http://www.npr.org/2013/01/28/170494506/lockdowns-the-norm-for-schools-with-frequent-threats>
in
Bay Area schools. During our reporting, we found a range of opinions on
school safety. Some students want more counselors, while others want more
police officers armed with guns, pepper spray and more. What makes you feel
safe at school? What makes you feel safe in your neighborhoods? Have there
been guns on your school campus – and if so, what happened? How do you
think school administrators should address these issues?****

Youth Radio reporter Robyn Gee will host the chat in collaboration with
Radio Rookies contributors.****

*If you need food for thought, here are resources and youth perspectives on
these issues: http://www.youthradio.org/news/letters-joe*****
