Formulate an angle that would get our government to understand why laws need to pass. I think Abbott Elementary can affect [sic] change. I love the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbbott Elementary\u201d is a mockumentary sitcom TV series on ABC starring Brunson as a second-grade teacher at the fictional public elementary school in Philadelphia. It premiered in 2021 and was renewed for a second season after receiving critical acclaim. A main topic on the show is teachers trying to help their students succeed despite being underfunded.<\/p>\n<p>The tweet comes days after a lone gunman entered Robb Elementary in Uvalde, proceeding to brutally murder 19 young children and two teachers. An additional 17 people were injured.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The tragedy quickly turned into a political spectacle, with Democrat lawmakers demanding stricter gun control. Meanwhile, Republicans insisted that the shooter would have violated those laws anyway, and say more money and resources should be spent securing schools with armed guards and metal detectors, among other measures.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAbbott Elementary\u201d actress and creator Quinta Brunson said she\u2019s not happy with multiple fans requesting a school shooting-themed episode following the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas. \u201cWild how many people have asked for a school shooting episode of the show I write. people are that deeply removed from demanding more from the politicians they\u2019ve elected and &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":345,"featured_media":1493194,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1493136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1493136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/345"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1493136"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1493136\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1493194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1493136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1493136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1493136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
