Deaths of children. At school.
For literally nothing.
They are _avoidable_, that's why they are not overstated.
- rayiner 7y agoHow are they avoidable?
- dahfizz 7y agoEvery death is a tragedy. Many are avoidable. If we want to actually reduce tragedy and suffering, your time and energy is best spent on big problems. A school age child is nearly 200x more likely to die by suicide than from a school shooting. That's a tragedy. And that's _avoidable_. Which do you hear about more? The attention and resources of society are limited. We would be better off allocating resources to bigger problems, but we don't. That's a tragedy.
- allover 7y agoUm, why not both. The rest of the world doesn't have the school shooter problem. It's fixable, and the fix is bleedingly obvious. There's no excuse.
