Weekly Round-Up

Aftermath of the Nashville Shooting, Humza Yousaf elected as First Minister, Government investigation into 'trans' education, and Trans Day of Visibility

Hello everyone,

Please find below the biggest stories of the last week (as ever, it has been full of ups and downs!):

1.     Shooting in Nashville

The tragic killing of innocent people (including 3 children) in a school in Nashville is beyond comprehension. How can a human being embody such depravity?

The motive of the attack is, as yet, unclear. What is clear, however, is that it was pre-meditated and sophisticated.

Not long after the incident, evidence emerged, revealing that the shooter was Audrey Hale, a ‘trans’ person. The police have said they are investigating this fact as a potential motive for the attack.

I do not wish to speculate on the motive but I do wish to reflect on the reactions to the shooting, which were extremely telling.
