Watch this girl narrate an active shooter drill and remember that Capitol staff used this info to hide silently under desks for hours as Trumps deadly #January6th mob cried out for Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence. Enough of guns and trauma! #EndGunViolence

(10,540 posts)I thought getting under a desk during Cold War nuke drills was stupid. What is really stupid is we hold guns more important than life.

(55,524 posts)I can't sleep for a month after any school shooting. Teachers didn't expect to teach in this environment when they decided to join the profession. It is tough enough being a teacher today without this BS going on.
Kids listen very, very well. They follow instructions and they learn the drills quickly and at a young age. These drills are typical lessons for them now. This IS insanity.

You can't imagine the joy of sitting with crying children begging you to tell them if "it's real or not."
