“Recently a booklet was sent home so parents could discuss with their children how to stay safe in such cases,” the district said. It sparked enough of a reaction to warrant an explanation from the Dallas Independent School District, which said in a statement Friday that it works "hard every day to prevent school shootings" by dealing with online threats and improving security measures. California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, tweeted: “Winnie the Pooh is now teaching Texas kids about active shooters because the elected officials do not have the courage to keep our kids safe and pass common sense gun safety laws.” The district's decision to send kids home with the book has made waves. After posting about it in an online neighborhood group, she found other concerned parents whose kids had also brought the book home.
She said her first-grader, who goes to the same elementary school as her pre-K son, also got a copy of the book last week. “It’s hard because you’re reading them a bedtime story and basically now you have to explain in this cute way what the book is about, when it’s not exactly cute,” Campos said.
