The gun divide in the United States has ratcheted up further with each mass murder, and school security debates have reached a boiling point since the massacre in Parkland, Florida. While arguments over arming teachers are making their way further into the mainstream, many individuals and schools around the nation have already decided to take matters into their own hands by arming faculty and staff.
G is for Gun: The Arming of America’s Teachers is more than a project about building awareness. Way’s images seek to empower the public to make and participate in decisions affecting their schools, their communities, and the larger society in which they live. The debate over the arming of public-school employees is emblematic of many of the same political and cultural divides so pronounced in America today.
