They should probably be fed up with the school districts that pulled funds for police at schools.

That's a shallow statement. Maybe they're just scared crapless.

How did protests on college campuses in the 60s and early 70s change the course of action in Vietnam?

If they're shot they wont make college anyway. Besides, college is a waste of time, they should go to trade schools instead of those woke, communist campuses, right?! Isn't that how the conservative view of college is?

incorrect, but you clearly are the target audience for their misinformation.

I'd have walked out years ago for wasting my time on useless, damaging, and erroneous information being taught. Thank God I went to school when they still taught facts and things worth teaching.

She told me please not to tell her another student might be a shooter because she would be too scared to finish school. Thankfully she graduated safely with no incidents.

maybe if the adults laid out all the facts/stats for them, they wouldn't be as worried.

an infinitesimally small % of students will ever be exposed to guns being used at schools. Sure, all the students at the elementary school were exposed to it. Any other students in Uvalde have been exposed to it. The students at the school in Michigan - exposed to it.

But students on the other side of Texas, in other states, etc - they haven't been exposed to it.

Some dip**** brought a gun into my child's high school (in his backpack) and got caught. We didn't suddenly rush out and get counseling for every kid, or consider them fear-shocked.

I thought after Parkside that all schools had established locked doors, and getting buzzed in. Apparently that's not the case, though it is in my county-wide 180 school system and certainly every urban district in the state. You're not talking even $10K/school for this.

This generation are full of wimps and soft people.
it's the information being fed them, like "200+ shootings IN school this year".
