On December 14, 2018, the sixth anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that killed 20 first-graders and 6 educators, a bomb threat was called into the school. This was nothing less than an act of domestic terrorism, directed at a community that has already experienced unimaginable trauma. It, and similar incidents, should be investigated by the FBI with all the resolve and resources that are directed to foreign radical extremist terrorist threats.

This is not an isolated event. Far-right conspiracy theorists have routinely harassed and threatened parents of Sandy Hook School victims. The same is happening to the student survivors of the Parkland School shooting.

The children of Newtown—like all students these days—already suffer daily from the fear of school shootings. It is unconscionable that they are being terrorized by these despicable acts. The perpetrators need to be caught and brought to justice.
