    Keep hands visible

    Love that we have to prepare children to not only possibly be murdered by their peers, but also by cops who have been conditioned to indiscriminately fire at everything that moves.

    And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free

    And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me

    And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today

    'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA

    America will sooner defund literature, arts and the humanities to divert money to teaching kids how to Zerg rush an armed shooter (this also counts as Phys Ed) before they enact gun control

      And last I checked, gun control in america has historically always been about keeping guns out of the hands of anyone that isn't white.

      The standard size for most AR-15 magazines is 30 rounds. Timmy fires 17 rounds at his class mates. How many rounds dose he have left in the magazine?

      gun control is stupid unless you never had guns in the first place

      because I really really want pigs and other nazis to be the only ones with guns

        ???

        We had plenty of guns here in China due to the fact that we, uhh, invented gunpowder.

        Between the Warlord era and liberation, guns weren't exactly rare. And yet today I am looking through the news and I do not see any gun violence here. Not in my city of Wuhan, not in my province of Hubei, not in the entire PRC.

        Perhaps you need to have a revolution first, but it's not "stupid unless you never had guns in the first place"

    The "keep hands visible" is so fucked up. I wonder how many school shooter body counts are padded by twitchy cops?

    I have a box in my classroom that keeps my students and myself safe. You see, it has a tourniquet, a billy club, some gloves, and other items designed to help in the event of a shooter. This is cool and good and normal. I especially like that my fingerprint is required to open the box. But don’t worry, if someone accidentally lifts the cover to the fingerprint scanner it will call the police anyway. They’ll be at the school in under three minutes and know exactly which box was activated.

    Yes, I like the box looming over my desk, installed over a weekend where my “You Are Loved” rainbow poster used to be. Its invitingly sharp corners remind me I’m safe. The harsh green LEDs, the kind my astigmatism can never resolve clearly, bathe the room in a calming wan glow. The seemingly random tests, the ones where the man’s voice barks in my left ear, let me and my students know all is well.

    I love telling my students where we will go if someone wants to shoot us. I love explaining to them that running is our best option. I love the look in their eyes when they tell me they would hide under the tables and stab the shooter with scissors. I love reminding them that life isn’t a fucking video game.

    I’m happy to have the box, this reminder of death in my classroom.

      Based on prior incidents this may be of no help whatsoever

        oh they'll come.... to stand around, porkily, while keeping the parents out and letting the shooter kill more children

      I'm really sorry for my ignorance but what the fuck? Do American schools really have stashes of shooter survival gear in each classroom? What's next, blast doors in the halls and bunkers under each classroom?

      I hope you and your students never have to face the unthinkable. And I don't know what else to say.

        Thank you. And you don’t have to say anything. Use this horror to fuel something productive in your life.

    when I still went to school my class had a can drive. No not for the hungry, but for when there was a shooter we had something heavy to throw at them.

      I genuinely feel really bad for the amerikkka children... Having to worry about getting shot dead for no reason by your classmates in school, or by the police that they also put in the schools...
