I can't imagine what it must be like to be a kid these days.
Like I've heard stories of classroom prep during the Cold War, which included getting under desks and whatever in case of an air raid / bombing. And that's a certain type of intimidation, but it also is sort of a nationalist indoctrination into believing in your country, etc. in that the government is imagined to be doing all it can to prevent harm / attack.
These days, kids are getting trained to duck under a desk in case their fellow students walk around with an AR-15. There are like eight different ways the government COULD work to prevent a situation where a child is huddled under a desk or running out of a school covered in blood.
It's one of those situations where I think, even as objective Americans, we're so far down the rabbit hole we can't even see the true level of tragic absurdity this entire situation holds.
