Overview

• Quinta Brunson, the creator of 'Abbott Elementary', intends not to include a school shooting episode in her show, stating that she wants to focus on the everyday realities of the classroom rather than succumb to external pressures.
• In her interview with Glamour, Brunson emphasized that while school shootings unfortunately occur frequently, for teachers, they are just one among many daily challenges they face in their classrooms.
• Brunson feels that the daily struggle of teachers handling their daily academic responsibilities and trying to improve students' scores represents a more realistic representation of their day-to-day life.
• While Brunson is a strong advocate for eradicating gun violence, she does not believe her show needs to carry this topic. She considers even the discourse around it to be a form of 'political violence'.
• The ABC comedy show 'Abbott Elementary', which portrays a more politically nuanced everyday reality rather than leading with a political message, has been renewed for a third season.
