The Connecticut Bar Foundation‘s James W. Cooper Fellows has announced the winners in the 19th annual Quintin Johnstone Statewide High School Essay Contest.
The contest, open to high school students at all public and private schools statewide, invited students to prepare an essay on the topic “Jumping the Gun—Preventing School Violence.” This year’s topic dealt with two student brothers, one a popular jock and the other a social outcast, who are seen on a viral video at a shooting gun range. The school gets word of the video and decides the video shows that the social outcast brother is a threat and suspends him. The popular brother is not suspended, despite participating in the same activity.
