Education Secretary Miguel Cardona tells lawmakers at a budget hearing that "the time for thoughts and prayers is over" and that what is needed now is action in the wake of another deadly mass shooting at an elementary school in Texas. "Student and teachers and school leaders are scared," he says. He goes on to say that staff trainings, active shooter drills, online early detection screening, and new security measures have all been put in place in schools around the country in the wake of other mass shootings, but says they are "no match for what we are up against...We can do better and we must do better," he says. close
