But in situations like this the parents involved should make their first priority the well being and health, mental and physical, of the kids who were present.
It is sad to see people just waiting for a tragedy to exploit for political gain.
I don't think you can compare the kids who enter the military to these oblivious children.
You are "educated" in the probability of violence when you join the military.....and are taught how to respond to it.
Heck, even the ROTC students at this school, responded differently when they came under attack, than the kids sitting in their "safe spaces" studying Math, English, Drama, etc..... because the ROTC students had been trained on the possibility of violence in their world.
I would say we have failed, as a nation, in not teaching these kids that their world will never be completely "safe"........no matter how much they want it to be. Once they understand that.........maybe we can teach them to protect themselves.
Not from this batch of weasels.
