The class was part of a Temple University program called Fighting Chance, which takes a practical - if startling- approach to helping save lives in crime-addled areas by training residents how to triage the victims of shootings and other violent crimes before an ambulance arrives. Before Fighting Chance even launched, the Obama administration announced a similar effort, Stop the Bleed, in the fall.

When I was a kid we learned how to apply an Ace bandage to a sprained ankle.

When we moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s, they showed my first-grade class films on (a) how to avoid flash floods, (b) how to avoid getting bitten by scorpions, and (c) what to do if there was an atomic blast over downtown LA.

Lemme guess - it’s not a class in how to shoot back.

This is ALL I remember from classroom civil defense lessons. (I learned a heck of a lot more emergency procedures in the Boy Scouts.)
