Lol it's hard to convey just how bad TV was after 9/11 for quite awhile. Everything was over the top sad. Also while on the topic I'm pretty sure if I recall correctly for the entire day of 9/11 every single network besides kids shows and maybe a few others like weather all were showing 9/11 coverage. You literally couldn't find a channel not rebroadcasting the news coverage besides those, it was wild.

We held a moment of silence over the PA system for the rest of the year. It was like 20 seconds long, which was like 15% of the entire announcements. Shit like that compounded with the endless propaganda absolutely messed with kids. It was fucked up, and then things got super weird with security for things increasing basically overnight. Also the country got extremely open with their racism and Islamophobia which was new for me the way it was so open and common.
