Overview
The 1975 shooting attack on a Brampton high school was, at the time, North America’s deadliest school assault carried out by a student.
In May 1975, a sixteen-year-old student entered his high school — Brampton Centennial Secondary School — where he unpacked two rifles and proceeded to fatally shoot a student, a teacher, and injure at least thirteen other students before killing himself.
Working from testimony collected by police, personal interviews, and never-before-published photographs, the book offers the most authoritative version of the attack ever told.
The Kids Aren't All Right places the attack at the nexus of multiple movements in Canadian and North American society, including optimism resulting from Brampton's promise as a newly-recognized city, social anxiety resulting from economic and political crisis, panic regarding moral decline among teenagers, and debates over gun control.
The book also considers the place of the shooting within the tragic trajectory of attacks at educational institutions in Canada, the United States, and beyond.
