Rachel Scott Legacy: Problems I have

Okay so basically our school is having an assembly that has to deal with this girl, Rachel Scott, who was killed in the Columbine High School shooting. The name of the people is the Rachel Scott Legacy group and they are going to talk about the legacy of Rachel and the impact she made. Here's my problem. Why don't they talk about the other people that were killed? Granted her family did start the foundation, but don't you guys see a problem with just focusing on one individual instead of the victims as a whole? I feel as though it's almost saying that Rachel was more important than the other victims.

It seems as though you have yet to go to the presentation. It's actually called Rachel's Challenge and their goal is to make a "chain reaction". It is not the Rachel Scott Legacy. You seem pretty closed minded about this so don't judge it before you go, it's a good experience and something you definitely should not be complaining about.

They came to my high school in either 2006 or 2007. I honestly don't remember much from it, but they talk about other stuff than just her.

I was just saying. I'm not complaining and I haven't gone but the video that they showed today explaining it made it seem like it was only about her. I'm not judging it and I'm being open minded, but insulting me and calling me close minded is being an ass.

I think they came to my school when I was in 8th or 9th grade. But as I can recall they talked about more than just her. It was a rather touching presentation.
