Setting the Table: Discussing Gun Violence and Public Safety
It was the first events of a two year effort just launched in Muncie, called Setting the Table – a roundtable conversation about gun violence prevention and public safety. The events are moderated by Carlton Mayers, as organized by the Muncie NAACP and others. I was there, and witnessed excellent, productive conversations, facilitated by a cell phone and website system where the kids answered questions anonymously, and their comments appeared real-time on a screen for all to see, and share.
Over the past two days, these events happened with students from the Muncie Community Schools, and at the Wednesday night event, high school aged kids’ thoughts were heard about the need for leadership and mentors, a community gathering place, and the need for ongoing conversations. They did not seem to talk a lot about guns, but did consider the pros and cons of metal detectors at schools and events, among other ideas. The events are moderated by Carlton Mayers, as organized by the Muncie NAACP and others.
