A TikTok went viral calling for kids to shoot up their school and now half the schools in my county are closed tomorrow. Trying to find the TikTok now

Edit: It’s always very telling when I learn about something from colleagues instead of from online because apparently these memes having something to do with the new Spiderman movie

    back in 1999 in the months after Columbine there was a huge bomb-threat fad in schools across America since any kid could just phone the school, say there's a bomb, hang up, and thus force them to cancel all classes for the day

      All four years I went to high school we had one bomb threat-related day off. These would also turn into two days off for me, because the next day I would see that they were checking bags, turn around and go home. I had almost flawless attendance despite skipping any time I saw that happening, so nobody ever came looking for me.
