>create false sense of perpetual danger by convincing kids they’re actually likely to be shot in a an active shooter situation, when it’s far more likely they’ll die driving to school or from childhood obesity.
>appeal to the feeling of fear you instilled in impressionable children as proof the danger actually exists, post violin-accompanied #thathappened stories on Facebook and social media
I couldn’t make this shit up, lmao
You wanna see something truly pathetic check out the notes, I think my favorite is someone claiming the anedoctal child’s “freedom of expression” is being violated.
“Kids – who are notorious for bad risk assessment – are irrationally afraid of a very rare event. This proves that it’s a serious problem.”
If she’s that worried and that self-aware, she can just take her shoes off and hide them somewhere.
When I was 5 I screamed bloody murder at a tiny spider I saw at school, because someone had thought it smart to put on arachnaphobia for us to watch. When I was about 6 or 7 I spent about a year being cripplingly paranoid of housefires while sleeping so I’d unplug shit in the house before going to bed. I was a kid, kids are routinely…not well informed about these things or over estimate what is and isn’t a risk.
Determining how we should progress as a society based off the musings of literal children isn’t exactly a smart thing to do.
