A very good point. Public and private schools for all of recorded history have countless examples of child abuse.
Kids die with alarming frequency in public schools. In 2022 there was an average of one shooting a week in US public schools.
Even if you decide that the risks are not that high of a kid actually dying, there's a very real chilling effect. There's now paranoia, stress, and an atmosphere of fear. These are not healthy things.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y ago> In 2022 there was an average of one shooting a week in US public schools. Not to downplay the tragedy of what we think of in terms of a school shooting… But the claim you are making is NOT what we think of, a Covington or Coloumbine or Uvalde. That stat is a gun control talking point intentionally designed to mislead. That list counts any shooting within a few blocks of a school, and at any time of day. There is one on that list that someone shot a cat at 3am. shooting + near school = school shooting My city had a 16yo meet another student in the school parking lot late at night, over drugs of course, one was shot at and it’s now a school shooting on whatever sub-organization Michael Bloomberg is pushing at the moment (there are at least five I know of).

- JackMorgan 3y agoSee my last paragraph. The chances of a kid dying is extremely low. The paranoia, fear, and desire to make it safer have caused many schools to feel like minimum security prisons.
