For the very brave teacher, Victoria Soto, who should have
had a gun to balance her big brass balls, as she
placed her body between death and her little ones.
And for her principal, Dawn Hochsprung, who
charged bare-handed to the rescue, when she ought
to have been armed with more than fighting spirit.
As long as our country has such women,
hope is not lost.
And for Juliana, Patrick, and Cossima, may they never
need a woman like Victoria or Dawn to protect them.
