Sure let’s have a conversation about guns, but that’s probably not the real problem here. For example, that Kentucky student just lost his father and was being bullied and allegedly the school ignored it, and he struck out. So if he was unable to obtain a gun, would he have turned to some other means for his carnage, like bombing, acid, poison, etc?

I was a victim of bullying in High School many years ago. Actually it was encouraged by my ninth grade gym teacher even. I turned to that fucker for help since I was so skinny and weak. I asked him for some private time and help in the weight room and he proceeded to march me in to the room in front of all the jocks and say out loud “You better start with the 10 pound weight” with everyone roaring.

It still bothers me (obviously) 40 years later.

High School can be a living hell. We’re killing funding, making classes larger, killing teacher morale, and pushing the best teachers out of the work force.

Let’s not just bandaid the symptoms here and try to fix the real causes of the disfunction in our schools.
