Depending on the proposal, Carter tried this and kids were getting hit and killed walking to school buses because it was still dark in the morning. Is anyone mentioning this?

No they're not. First because it was Nixon, not Carter and second because it was year-round DST, not Standard Time.

From wiki

During the 1973 oil embargo by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), in an effort to conserve fuel, Congress enacted a trial period of year-round DST (P.L. 93-182), beginning January 6, 1974, and ending April 27, 1975.[8] The trial was hotly debated. Those in favor pointed to increased daylight hours in the winter evening: more time for recreation, reduced lighting and heating demands, reduced crime, and reduced automobile accidents. The opposition was concerned about children leaving for school in the dark. The act was amended in October 1974 (P.L. 93-434) to return to standard time for the period beginning October 27, 1974, and ending February 23, 1975, when DST resumed. When the trial ended in 1975, the country returned to observing summer DST (with the aforementioned exceptions).[7]

If the standard time had the buses arriving at 6:30 and the sun was coming up on that spring day at the same time and THEN the following morning daylight savings time was imposed, the sunrise would be at 7:30 and the bus would have arrived an hour earlier, IN THE DARK.

So, change school hours so they start classes later.

Daylight savings makes it darker in the morning.

Any child walking to school north of the California/Oregon border is walking in the dark in the winter anyway! For some (ie Alaskans), it’s dark BOTH to and from school!

That whole premise is the definition of a red herring.
