23. "Some men on the scene who knew what to do".

Disgusting words. And they forget the male business teacher that lost his life at Columbine trying to stop Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Their arguments are utter crap. Plus, I work in elementary schools. There are not a lot of men that want to teach little children. There are some but it is mostly women that become elementary school teachers, Principals, school secretaries. Maybe because society makes men think it is not enough of a "manly job" to teach our children to begin with. Idiots.
