Also they’re ok with their children going through shooter drills also. What these do to the psyche of children is just more than they can comprehend or give a damn about. It disgusts me to my soul.

And yet they wonder why there is a mental health crisis among the youth (though not just the youth). I'm over 30 and we had active shooter drills even when I was in high school. Generations of kids traumatized by the fear of getting shot at school, and Republicans think that's just fine.

Post-birth abortion is a made-up thing that is literally impossible, but to the extent it exists as a concept, it's school shootings. Funny (horrifying and sociopathic) how they don't give a single fuck about kids once they're born.

No child should have to ever think about someone shooting them. This insanity is so sad. It really hurts my heart to once again know that children were killed.

My niece has been a teacher for 25 years. She has told me how awful it is, for both her and her children, to have to practice these drills. (I had commented about how young people don't seem as big into protests re climate change, as my generation was re the VN war. She wrote back: "They have more immediate things to worry about." And then told me the horrors of knowing that you could be killed by a monster with an AK-47 just for being at school. It broke my heart.
