School shootings

Figured we can just throw them up under one title...

There was a march this weekend about ending the gun violence. Lots of anti-NRA and anti-gun signs. No anti-shooters signs. No signs about mental health. No signs about making schools actually safer just anti-gun stuff.

I'm happy the kids are out using their voice. I'm sad they're being manipulated to further someone else's agenda.

School distributes rocks for students to throw at shooters.

I'm not. Kids are stupid and should shut up.

Like 3 minutes ago I was wondering why anyone would ever come down on any side of an argument that children support. CHildren are stupid and inexperienced and I would bet a dollar that 99% of them don't have a concrete reason about why they marched.

Designing schools in the age of school shootings.

True story: A local elementary school that my oldest attended for a year was built with shooters in mind. The school was built over a decade ago too, which is strange. Hallways are angled in such a way that standing in one hallway doesn't give you clear line of sight on any other. Longer hallways have bends or angles in them. Doors are thick and have security measures installed.
