The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc worldwide. But during all of the uncertainty, perhaps the most uplifting aspect of the pandemic has been the rise in gratitude for first responders. Our country has found a common enemy in this virus. We’ve bonded together in a time of separation -- as a school community, a state, a nation, and a world. But recently, it feels like much of that gratitude -- specifically for police officers and the military -- has fallen away.

The Looking Glass

The Looking Glass is composed of 20 editors and many more student writers who are offered the freedom to express their opinions and shed light upon the truths of our community.

 If you have been paying even minimal attention to the news in the past few weeks, you’ve probably noticed the outbreak of protests across our nation and our world related to instances of police brutality and racial inequality. Sparked by the death of individuals like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery at the hands of some law enforcement officials, hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets in support of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Though some BLM protests have been associated with violence and looting, they are an organization that preaches peaceful protest and reform....
