> US schools apparently conduct surprise active shooter drills with simulated gunshots
I thought this must be hyperbole, but holy crap. There's a story of an Oregon teacher who sued her school district when she was "shot" in 2013 in a surprise drill [1]. In 2021, Texas introduced but failed to pass a law requiring advance notice of simulated shooting drills [2].
That's craaaaaaazy to me. If the "arm the teachers" faction gets their way, do they stop doing these drills, or just accept a few more dead people from drills gone wrong?
