Obviously, these shootings happen, but the solution is not to arm each student with a cell phone, just as it sure as hell isn’t to arm each teacher with a firearm.

You're right. The solution is fucking gun control. Not isolating those kids out of fear that they might give the cops misinformation and there won't e a safe space to play flappy bird while children are being executed.

So how about you shut the fuck up about how it is more important to isolate the kids than to protect them? Hmm?

Lol isolating kids? They're at school... If someone needs to get information out, there are already channels of communication.

Hope you have a better day.

Edit:

The need for gun control in the US is absolutely dire from any and all perspectives of public health, from school shootings to suicide.

The effect smart phones have had on our students is significant and must be addressed as many kids are not learning in the classroom.

Both of these things are true. Both must be addressed.
