14. The School????

Thu Dec 9, 2021, 11:39 AM

Dec 2021

I've heard the argument that the school has some responsibility and I don't buy it. Seems to me that the school was the party that was ringing all the alarm bells. If schools are to be held accountable for mass shootings then they have the right to turn the into fortresses and students are subject to search and seizure on demand for any reason. The slightest suspicion, right or wrong, can land a student on a blacklist.

But look on the bright side. We still have the 2nd amendment rights to arm our teenagers with guns assault weapons.
