[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Terrifying.  Definitely more scared of this stuff than Covid.

My 8th grader applied to the Aviation program there.  Ugh.  [/quote]

My kid goes there. It’s a great school. I’m very appreciative of how the school staff handled this. They had to be the first responders and they did a great job keeping 1600 kids safe.

The thing is gun violence is up across the country. And much of it is among kids. [b] It could happen anywhere, unfortunately.[/b] [/quote]

At least parents are finally acknowledging this. I can't stand quoted parents after a school shooting 'I can't believe this happened here!' It happens everywhere Susan - in small towns like Sandy Hook, in the wealthiest public school district in Florida like Stoneman Douglas, and in middle of the road communities like Columbine.[/quote]
This is complete bullshit. This incident is not a mass shooting event. This incident is the direct consequence of the increasing frequency of kids in MCPS bringing guns to school on a regular basis. That is not happening everywhere. Not even in DCPS. Just stop it. Blaming society for a direct failure of MCPS is inappropriate. In fact, if there is anything we want to blame society for, it’s the question we should address our local politicians of why we are seeing increased poverty in our schools and more criminal behavior. This is not happening in Howard County or Fairfax.

Trying to redirect the blame for what happened today on society and away from local leaders will only ensure that this incident will be the first of many more. If you don’t want that then people need to start taking responsibility and aggressively making change. [/quote]
