This is why I homeschool. Literally the only reason I have. I wish my daughter could have the same school experience I did but we didn't have school shootings back then. Columbine happened when I was in 7th grade. It's been non-stop since then.

Literally, this. There are secular options. Heck, ours is considered public school, so there is no chance of falling behind grade level standards. They have done nothing to protect our children, and then we get attacked for taking the steps we feel we have been forced into.

I have a nephew at Univ of Arkansas, his text to us this week was one no family should ever have to get: that he’d had to sprint & evacuate from what he thought were mass shooters on campus two buildings away from where he was in class. And students should never have to go through that.

I hated it, and leaving one school a year before a school shooting it always weighed on my mind. We are giving generations of kids PTSD with active shooter drills. My daughter is in College now, but I still worry every day, nowhere is safe anymore.

Isn’t this the way for years now? Kids who have daily training on how to react when a shooter enters the school. What an evil society. And that issue is not only on the Republicans side.

For those of us looking from outside in, we are baffled not that it keeps happening (of course it does, your gun laws are insane), but that Americans kept tolerating it for decades. You didn't have to tolerate this. Now, it's likely too late because you allowed fascists to take over the gov't. 🤷‍♂️

Millions of children go to school every morning and return safely in the afternoon. It is clear that we as citizens don't care about these shootings. If we did, we would vote very differently. The MAGA folks trade a few students, particularly in Minnesota, so that they can keep their AK 47s.

One of the saddest days of my National Park Service career was during a classroom visit when a surprise active shooter drill was held. A student helped me with their protocol. I asked her later if it scared her. She said “this is how it is for us, Ranger Doug.” A fifth grader.

My middle schooler explained the plan if a shooter broke into the classroom: The kids were to throw staplers or books or whatever they could find. At the gunman trying to murder them.

I was in a preschool Head Start class when an active shooter drill occurred. As I huddled with them on the floor, I started to cry, thinking this could not possibly be their reality. But then I thought “get it together. These kids can’t see you crying when the lights go back on.”
