American businessman Foster Friess wants to end school shootings, and he’s offering to match up to $2.5 million in donations to do it.

Friess, writing in USA Today, says the donations to the National Christian Foundation’s “Return to Civility Fund” would “go specifically to programs that improve school safety, develop youth mentoring, and promote a return to civility in our schools.”

Donors have until March 24th to have their contributions matched.

Friess believes it is important to address the core issue surrounding school shooters by attacking the problem directly: the shooter himself.

READ IT BEFORE COMMENTING. So, billionaires can afford to do this. Sounds like he's not blaming the AR as much as focusing on the perp. Which is where the focus should be instead of mis-directing the anger at an organization or an inanimate object. Trying to get a handle on all the bullied or angry youts would/will not be easy.

I don’t think paying the mentally ill is going to solve the problem...

[rktman]

Well, he could pay me some of the $2.5. LOL!

Once upon a time we were “ One nation under GOD” and didn’t have thee problems. Gee, I wonder how we can fix that?

[rktman]

I’ll ask around. For $2.5 million, I could provide and answer possibly.

It’s a shame that it only took until the 2nd post for someone to write a lazy snark rather than spend a couple minutes on a very serious subject and realize it is a good idea from a seemingly good organization.

Good post rktman.

No civility without God...which excludes allah.

Once upon a time schools were NOT 'No Gun' zones.

It wasn't until they became 'No Gun' zones that serious numbers of student killings began.

Poor baby.

Innocent kids being massacred. Guns and the right blamed wrongfully blamed. A good organization steps up and offers a rational, well thought solution that could actually help.

You knock it without even taking a look.

I hate to tell you but on one of the ugliest issues of our time, men like you are unlikely allies of the left.

I looked before I posted before. From their site:

Our vision: Every person reached and restored through the love of Christ.

So what is the point of your 4 posts?

We live in a country where we believe people can change sex at will, that it's normal to have gender neutral restrooms, emotional support animals, gay marriage is the norm, homosexuality is a virtue, and illegal aliens have more rights than citizens do, and we're supposed to be able to determine when someone is insane?
All the mentoring and civility training in the world isn't going to help an unmoored society.

Well ... I had NO idea who the organization is, so I looked.

I didn't think it would be offensive to post the explanatory video to the posts that showed interest, except .... welll ... you DID indicate sarcasm as a potential folly.

So ... I guess I offended you.

The ultimate solution has to be changing hearts,” Friess writes.

changing their hearts is great, but if their minds are broken there isn’t much you can do.

Marie Harf must be a close friend of Friess`s

Feb 17, 2015 - U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf explained Monday that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, which has marauded through much of the Middle East, leaving thousands dead, won’t be defeated through military force but through responsible governance and better job opportunities.
