Article about the precious little one injured in the Bend, Or shooting ~
Saylor does not use spoken words to tell people how she feels.
She is 7 and lives with a genetic condition called CASK. She communicates with her eyes and a tablet.
Even so, she has a message.
In a video for Sparrow Clubs, it came through her tablet. She said she proves every day that she is a fighter who does not give up.
She also said something about joy.
Living with CASK-related challenges is full of unknowns, she said. But it does not keep her from smiling, laughing and living with joy.
She loves two things.
Bluey and her brother. She also loves being around other kids.
Then came Thursday.
Saylor was critically injured in the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. She is being treated at a hospital in Portland.
People who know her are not surprised by her spirit.
The head of Sparrow Clubs, Matt Sampson, calls her a feisty, vibrant fighter. He says she does not need words to connect.
Her community is wrapping around her.
The CASK community is holding a prayer on Zoom Sunday at 5 p.m. Pacific and 8 p.m. Eastern. A GoFundMe for her family has raised almost $400,000.
A teacher is recovering too.
Becky Drury has wounds to her arm and hand. She hopes to go home soon.
My friend, a special education teacher in our school district, came over last night. Our boys are best friends. She showed me the scratches and scabs on her arms from one of her students, the same student who tried to choke her earlier this week. She’s exhausted and doing her best to hang in there, but it’s a daily nightmare.
This is completely unacceptable. What are we doing? Why is a student this violent even allowed in a classroom setting? He needs intensive rehabilitation that classroom teachers are not trained or equipped to provide. And if there’s no real intervention, are we just waiting for the next Griffin J. John II?
Just add this to the pile of failures under Oregon Public school superintendent, Governor Tina Kotek. @GovTinaKotek
@davidmedinapdx@Oregonian There was a school in Michigan in the last year that had an attack on it. Zero students died.
The armed guard they had on hand, took out the attacker before a single child was harmed.
Funny how MSM didn't cover that case at all, isn't it?
Responding to ohreally -
Since Lindsay Clancy:
82 mothers have killed 123 of their own children.
37 MORE mothers tried.
52 children survived.
These are just the ones that made the local news.
SO, with your reasoning I guess we shouldn't let women have kids! (Thank goodness the nutty males that think they're a woman can't reproduce)
@ss_scmb@Liquidlaug41 The same woman who support late term abortion and all abortion are the same ones that supposedly care about our children! See the problem here!!!
These are the same school district people who made it a class A misdemeanor for this hero to even carry on school grounds and adjacent areas. This same governor is who made it a law. Now they are thanking him even though they are the ones who made the law specifically banning him from carrying in 2021. No charges? More like covering there leftist butts from the political fallout. Don’t thank them, they’re not doing it out of the goodness of their heart.
Oregon politician Nafisa Fai just held a rally in MN, speaking Somali, with an American flag UPSIDE DOWN.
Enough with the pretending already.
These are not Americans.
So if you bought a MAGA hat between 2021 and 2025 Jack Smith had you in a database with your name and home address in it
Now why would he do that?
Y'all do understand If Trump hadn't won this POS would have used that list to go after people right?
Who's the fascist?
@SaltyGoat17 I use to wonder how evil could be called good
Isaiah 5:20 You are headed for trouble! You say wrong is right, darkness is light, and bitter is sweet. (Contemporary English version) Sometimes I wish I hadn't & wasn't currently seeing the fulfillment of that verse & many others
The polls are fake.
The politicians are fake.
The news is fake.
The protests are fake.
The racism is fake.
The outrage is fake.
The harm it’s all doing to this nation is very, very real.
When you look at your energy bills that have all gone up 50% in the last 4 years, Trump didn't raise your energy bills, @GovTinaKotek and @ORDems did that. When you look at your skyrocketing property taxes, Trump didn't raise them. Tina Kotax and Oregon democrats did that. We can't afford 15 more minutes of these thieves, let alone 4 more years.
