“There are a lot of double standards,” Guerrero said. “If that had been a different protesting group, would there have been a completely different reaction? Would there have been more force?”

Like teachers all over the country, Beech Grove government and politics teacher Lee Shively hosted the videoconference discussion Thursday to help students process the difficult news. It’s important, he said, to give them a venue to talk about what’s happening in the world around them.

“These kids care and they have an opinion,” he said, “and they want to talk about it.”

In Nashville, students had just resumed classes virtually Thursday — many still reeling from the Christmas Day bombing that rocked the city, as well as the other traumas related to the pandemic, school closures and racial unrest last year.

It’s important to acknowledge these events, as difficult as they may be, said Ashley Croft-Callery, principal of Nashville’s Inglewood Elementary School.

“We know that the impacts of traumas like these can be long-lasting and that strong relationships with a caring adult are the key to buffering the impacts of trauma and lowering anxiety for children,” Croft-Callery said. “Acknowledging difficult events doesn’t re-traumatize students. Rather, it empowers them with a safe space to process their reactions and have their voices heard.”
