There is a factor to these tragedies that no one seems willing to talk about. They all seem to go down in affluent upper middle class schools. Is this because they only happen in those environments where violence is so shockingly taboo as to never be spoken of in polite company, or is it because no one bothers to report the ones which happen in environments where violence is common?
IF the latter possibility is closer to the truth then there is a bias in play, said bias revealing a high level systemic disregard approaching contempt for the safety and well being of the kids who are compelled by law to endure what passes for education in the lower echelons of society.
On the other hand, if what qualifies as a “school shooting” really is predominantly an upper crust phenomenon then that one fact says so very much about the total failure of the fauxLiberal’s attempts to control the psychological structure of the children using ignorance and indoctrination. It says there is a price to be paid for such brainwashing, and the coin involved is the children’s blood and genuine trauma.
Perhaps someday one of these Academics will engage with this question. But I’m not going to hold my breath waiting. No matter which possibility comes to the fore it won’t look very good on Empire Academia’s transcript.
