and I agree about the coverage. Today on CNN they showed a prayer vigil outside the school, and while I don't know who they were praying for, the journalist only mentioned the children in the class. Of course they were victims too, and I don't object to anyone praying for them, but shouldn't the teacher be prayed for as well? She wasn't even mentioned in the report.
