Oh totally. If there's one thing the 80s and 90s were known for, it was the absolute void of moral panics, social anxieties, and media terror campaigns propagated through the country.
Yeah after Columbine is when my school gained a higher police presence. The cops and the school resource officer like involved in everything. We never got metal detectors but we did have a system where the school's main entrance could be locked off but there was still multiple side entrances into the school though. You couldn't make jokes about anything school shooting related. The "weird" kids were always watched. I could go on but it was like a paradigm shift.
Columbine was the micro, 9/11 the macro In increasing the fear based repression in the US
