Of course. That's the school shooting equivalent of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.

Ah yes, the old "if you didn't want to get raped, don't wear slutty clothes" GOP perspective

I do hard lockdown drills with 6-year-olds who ask me questions about mass shootings I can't answer

Remember that a response to environmental plastics The Packaging And Beverage Industry funded a ad blaming negligent motorist. Same thing.

Not 100% accurate, there's also more guns.

it's 'cause America is a failed state...

Basically rape safety - stay arms reach away. Blame the victim. It’s their fault they Obviously getting an education is “asking for it”.

America. You are a bunch of losers! Can’t even protect your own children.

The same approach as environmental degredation. If shell can paint a flag in a dilapidated tank, this works too

I feel like this is more a reaction to the GQP's lack of action than anything.

Always taught to be proactive and first prevent causes, treat the symptoms. But the real world doesnt want to operate that way

They also design new schools to limit an shooter's body count

The Sandy Hook Initiative knew this would happen https://youtu.be/b5ykNZl9mTQ

every day I wake up in this shithole catastrophe of a nation, I am so glad I never had kids

I think both parties need to go. Both parties seem to like band-aid solutions and nobody looks for the root cause of the issue. IMO

Guess that's what Ted Cruz means by supporting them

Conservatives be like: "Let them purge!"

So long as republicans keep getting power this will keep happening. Everyone who votes republican condones killing children in school.
LordNergal
And nothing has changed since the 1989 school shooting that helped inspire the Assault Weapon Ban. 33 years of no change.

Take away the first part. This will keep happening. Too many guns in the US. Gun laws will have minimal effect. Media has glorified (1)

2 school shooters for the last 24 years, ensuring that some disturbed kid will cross the line every now and then. I'm not saying we

Maybe not since they’re trying to get rid of schools altogether…

... they never wished them luck.

Classic victim blaming. They shouldn't have been at school while the shooter was there! Why didn't they hide better! Should've done more

track so they could run faster! Hard to see America as anything other than a disgusting/frightening/unsafe place to be right now.

These old ,power hungry and corrupt leaders are destroying this country and its future.

But according to some of our Republican leaders, Sandy Hook didn't even happen!
NotGoodAtUserNames1
That was happening way before Sandy Hook. School shooting in my hometown in ‘97. Dealt with them then, and the for 10 years as a teacher.

It was hard to watch my child go off to school today.

As it should be. We should switch to remote learning. It's overwhelmingly superior for students and parents.
alex5775
Parents who both work can't afford remote learning. And if I recall the statistics suggested students struggled with it during covid
AGirthyPoro
Work in an elementary school. I hoped all day no kid asked me about it, because I don't think I could give them a satisfactory answer.
LCDC
My kid told me this morning if there was a shooting and if anyone around them was shot they would cover up with the dead body to hide.

My heart breaks for you. That must have been horrible to hear.

My wife forgot her keys and locked herself and our kids out. I had to race home from work to open the door. Was tempted to stay and just be/

I wonder if people refused to send their children to school, in big enough amounts, what would happen
GingerbreadHousesAreDangerous
I'm wondering if that's the point... They want to dismantle public Ed. Making parents too scared to send their kid to school works

Kids woke up late as usual, but I didn’t press them hard to get up today, told them they could stay home if they wanted. 1/x

They were actually excited about school and wanted to go today. Couldn’t believe that it actually hurt me a bit to hear that… fuck this… 2/2
Penguinofmyspirit
I struggled with it too. And have been struggling to put my mind on anything else.

Im sorry. I really am. it shouldnt be like this

They're a new teacher and it was still hard. I'm so sick of this.
