- stakkur 5y agoYep. One of the worst disasters in school histories. The app autocorrected 'disaster' to 'shooting'. I edited my comment. But the point here is the inclusion of a disaster that killed hundreds of children, not my grammar. To be clear--since this is HN--I haven't read the book and don't have an opinion about it's inclusion in a school library. But I do resist the temptation to accept articles like this at face value, without context or critique.
