[“We do not train our students to be sheep,” he said. “If a gunman comes into a classroom — unless you have an exterior exit that you can get out of — you’re cornered. So really, it’s fight or die. Preparing to respond that way is what we need to do with our people.” ]

In naturally wanting to be safe in school the kids fail to see the big picture: American capitalist society and American militarism is everywhere breeding moral monsters and murderous sociopaths. You are never SAFE amongst THEM.
The American Gulag and the American Police State-the daily insanity and INEQUALITY of the capitalist system- are the roots of the evil that spoils the expected " happy days " of their youth.

I can only laugh when they mass protest the wickedness of the NRA.
