FEMINISM drove mom’s OUT of the house, but worse, it also DROVE THE FATHER’S OUT OF THE HOUSE PERMANENTLY.

Indeed seeds were planted when God was taken out of our schools...Before my time.
I went to Catholic schools and grateful for the experience. (I know not everyone has positive, but I did.)

The difference is now we have global warming melding into climate change.

They took prayer out of the schools, and turned away from God.

1. Moral/cultural degradation.
2. An increasingly complicated world where fewer and fewer people are able to cope.
3. Incessant media coverage of bullsh!t that drives up anxiety in the general public.

A lot of things but I suspect 1st person shooter games are probably the biggest contributor... Imagine millions of adolescent boys spending hours living this fantasy... It’s no surprise one in a million actually do it...

One of my theories is that many boys feel alienated by today’s society-———they don’t think that they fit in.
Years ago they would get out of high school and get a “real guy only” job,like police,fire,lineman,or military-——and they would work things out.
Are there any real guy jobs left?

Parents are different as well. I thank God for my parents; so many of today's parents spawn children without actually bothering to raise them...

As other posters have said, taking God out of school, and feminism are certainly strong contributors to the problem.

I’ll take a stab at this.
The planned (and partly successful) attack on the two-parent nuclear family unit.

Perhaps the Charles Whitman “Texas Tower” shooting opened the floodgates. That was August 1, 1966.

The 24 hour news cycle, social media, and everyone being connected to each other with phones hasn’t done the culture any favors.
Maybe the real reason is that there is simply a decrease in the % of good people.

A lot of those feminists never became moms.
A lot of those dads were already gone, psychologically if not physically.
I think it's more about television and 24 hour news, the Internet and video-games. Both directly in calling attention to school shootings and indirectly, since people are too busy looking at their screens to interact with each other.
Specifically, when it comes to school shootings, medication also plays a big role.
