Children are too young to vote so they don't represent a constituency, and too young to work so they have no financial leverage. Their needs are consistently neglected by a neoliberal system that serves corporate interests first and people second. Children are sort of like third.

No kidding. That will be next. And you know what? They actually sell these cute little pink holsters. I'm serious.

I think you should take this very seriously. Who we should NOT take seriously is the NRA apologists.

So we just need to teach kindergarten teachers to be sharpshooters? They just keep the gun on their body all the time in case the guy with an assault weapon comes in?

What I would do is OUTLAW AR-15's and AK-47's!! Buy back every single one, if that's what it takes.

The teacher just keeps a handgun on his or her hip all the time, like in a holster? That's how it works? Or in a locked drawer, in which case there would be no time to retrieve it?

Right. So we just need to train teachers to shoot straight? That should be part of becoming a teacher now, becoming a sharpshooter?

Again, if the teacher only has a handgun and the shooter has an assault weapon then what good does that do? Thus my question - AK-47s in the kindergarten classroom???

So I'm trying to get this straight. The police wouldn't take on this guy but the NRA says we should arm teachers and let them do it? Maybe keep AK-47's in their bottom drawer?

We need a radical change in thinking. If we don't start giving all kids what they need in order to thrive, if we continue to ignore the chronic trauma of so many of their daily lives, then we will continue to experience the results of our societal neglect. politico.com/news/magazine/2…
