Why Meadow DiedThe Parkland school shooting was the most avoidable mass murder in American history. And the policies that made it inevitable have spread to your school.

The Parkland school shooting was the most avoidable mass murder in American history. And the policies that made it inevitable have spread to your school.

"After my sister Meadow was murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the media obsessed for months about the type of rifle the killer used. It was all clickbait and politics, not answers or justice. That wasn't good enough for us. My dad is a real tough guy, but Meadow had him wrapped around her little finger. He would do anything she wanted, and she would want him to find every answer so that this never happens again.

My dad teamed up with one of America's leading education experts to launch his own investigation. We found the answers to the questions the media refused to ask. Questions about school safety that go far beyond the national gun debate. And the answers to those questions matter for parents, teachers, and schoolchildren nationwide.

If one single adult in the Broward County school district had made one responsible decision about the Parkland shooter, then my sister would still be alive. But every bad decision they made makes total sense once you understand the district's politically correct policies, which started here in Broward and have spread to thousands of schools across America."

--Hunter Pollack, "Foreword"

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Andrew Pollack was an entrepreneur and businessman with experience in scrap metal, real estate, and property management. Everything changed when his daughter Meadow was murdered. He now dedicates his life to making school safe again, founding a non-profit Americans for Children's Lives and School Safety (CLASS) and making sure that the families of victims get answers and justice.

Max Eden is an education expert at an NYC-based think tank. He was formerly program manager of the education policy studies department at the American Enterprise Institute. Eden has a BA in History from Yale University.

REVIEWS:

An ancient Talmudic adage warned: Those who are kind to the cruel will be cruel to the kind.' This law of life explains why fourteen high school students and three adults were murdered on Valentine's Day 2018 in Broward County, Florida. Max Eden and Andy Pollack, the father of one of the murdered students, have written one of the most important books on American life published in the last few years. Why Meadow Died is shocking, illuminating, and ultimately angering. If the media ignore this book, it will prove they put ideology above truth.
-- Dennis Prager, nationally syndicated radio talk show host, syndicated columnist, and New York Times bestselling author of, most recently, The Rational Bible

This book could be titled: Andrew Pollack vs. Broward County. Mr. Pollack is the bold, striking colossus of Parkland politics. He deals justice with an iron fist and will likely be portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger when the movie version of this book is inevitably made.
-- Cameron Kasky, Co-Founder of March For Our Lives

"Why Meadow Died is the untold, almost unbelievable story of how the moral corruption wrought by politically correct policies and willful blindness made the most avoidable school shooting in history somehow inevitable. If the public faces the truths this book reveals it should insist on a searching examination of the ethos of our public schools."
-- Bill Bennett, Former U.S. Secretary of Education

"Why Meadow Died is a Shakespearean tragedy set in a public school system. The dark truths about our society and ourselves that shine through may be painful, but parents can't afford not to confront them. Moms: read this book like your child's life depends on it. It just might."
-- Nicole Landers, Mom, Nurse, Founder Parent2Parent Network

"Every teacher in America should read Why Meadow Died, because as Pollack and Eden show, the policies responsible for the Parkland tragedy have spread across America. School administrators across the country are rewarded for not enforcing the rules, which leads to a thousand tragedies a day that go unrecorded. Public education is headed down a dark path, and this book should be a wakeup call to teachers and parents across the country."
-- Judy Kidd, President, Classroom Teachers Association of North Carolina

"After the Parkland shooting, the media devoted far more attention to the model of gun the killer used than to the role the school and its policies may have played in enabling the tragedy possible. Max Eden and Andrew Pollack refused to leave it at that, calling out the troubling failures of the Broward County School District, which seems to have, at times, been more intent on buffing its public image than on giving the community answers and keeping children safe. Given that Broward's disciplinary practices were hailed as a national model by many in public education, Why Meadow Died is a timely and bracing contribution."
-- Frederick M. Hess, Director of Education Policy Studies, American Enterprise Institute

Fantastic Shoe for the Price
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Wingtip Black
Okay, I’m used to spending big bucks on men’s dress shoes. I’m talking $300 plus for American made shoes. They are recraftable (resole-able) for another $100 each time. But since Covid, I don’t go to the office as often. One of my black dress shoes needs to be re-soled, and it will be. Just not now. So I ran into these shoes on Amazon. It’s hard to argue with the price. Literally 10% of what I have been paying. So, are these shoes 90% lower in quality? The short, simple answer is, surprisingly, no. Just the opposite. Upon receipt, I inspected them carefully and they looked pretty darned decent. I was looking for any excuse to plop them back in the box and return them. I couldn’t find anything. I appreciate that the leather upper is smooth and mildly shiny. This is a wing tip style shoe, so I’m impressed that the extensive stitching was evenly spaced. The leather detailing that I expect on a wing tip is also all there. Inside the shoe, it is lined from the toes all the way to the heel box… nice! And that leather feels surprisingly supple. That is something I would expect on a much more expensive shoe. But definitely not at this price point. Hmm. I even liked the wax laces they chose. They are a little thicker and have more than adequate length. The shoe’s eyelets have interior facing metal grommets to protect against stretching and tear out of the leather and helps protect the laces against friction wear, as they are tightened and loosened over time. Now having that detail, at this price point, has raised both of my eyebrows. Double hmm. Now I am really impressed. The only thing that I didn’t like was that the stitching—that joins the uppers to the sole—is white. I needed to polish these shoes anyway, so I figured I’d see what would happen if I put black polish on the stitching. I’m happy to say that the uppers shine up very nicely, to a high gloss. This was done with just a little bit of buffing, using a traditional horse hair bristled brush. And followed by a buffing cloth. Although I didn’t do it, the leather is smooth enough that I probably could have spit shined them. And those pesky white stitches on the top side of the soles? Well I’m happy to report that they are now definitely black. Turning the shoe over, I can visually see a lump where the shank is supposed to be. That’s a good thing. Not all shoes have a shank. It helps to support the arch. That’s another nice detail. I am expecting the shank to be plastic at this price point. So I am utterly shocked to report to you that a magnet sticks to the bottom of the shoe. That shank is steel! Now I am amazed! We’re talking mind blown, Purple smoke everywhere. Speaking of details, I was very surprised to see the nicely done wing tip detailing, from on top of the shoe, carried over to the bottom of the sole. Wow. I have never seen that before. That’s surprising. Now it is important to point out that the sole is some man made material. Definitely not leather. But that’s okay. Especially in the wet, leather wears out quickly, if you don’t wear rubber over shoes. One less thing to fuss about. The heel itself has a band/layer of rust brown material sandwiched between black layers. I wonder if that is a cork or bamboo material? Having walked in these shoes, on concrete and tile floors, last week, there is a noticeable level of cush, or give. They will definitely not to be confused with sneakers. But for dress shoes, this is a pleasant and surprising experience. The first day, I wore them at home, over the weekend and I’m glad I did that. They needed time to adjust to my feet. Any dress shoe that I have ever worn needs that. But after that, these shoes have been pleasant enough to walk around in at work. I’d have to say that these shoes give me at least 90% of what I would expect from my $300+ shoes for around 10% of the cost. In my estimation, at their current price point, they constitute an excellent deal. And especially if you are just breaking into the business world and need a good pair of interview shoes, these are definitely respectable… just be sure to put black polish on the white stitches. Oh, BTW, I have wider feet and I ordered the shoe wide. After the initial stretching, they fit nicely. So, in the final analysis, what do I think? I have to say, yes, these shoes definitely get my recommendation. Especially if price is a huge factor, then these shoes constitute an excellent deal.

Great shoes
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Brown, Size: 10 Wide, Color: Brown
This shoe is incredibly comfortable and durable. I work in custodial work as management. However, sometimes I have to help my team when we are low manned. Just recently I had to help my team auto scrub a restroom. My shoes felt lightweight and were completely easy to clean. I was worried I would be slipping on sudsy water. To my surprise, these shoes gripped on to the floor nicely. I love the versatility of having a working shoe with the great style Bruno Marc provides. The shoe is breathable and true to size. I ordered the black pair as well and have had them for about 3 months. Highly recommend these amazing shoes.
