Snopes? Meh. Not trustworthy but I do notice at the top of the piece, the "News Analysis Division"(?)gave 2 checks for the fact checker rating. I don't know if that's 2 out of 2 or 2 out of 4/5/10. Anyway, fake news is still running rampant out there so double check the facts folks.

The lying media is running full steam. Schools are still some of the safest places in society, despite the very RARE instances of shooters like this.

more students or teachers killed by guns in U.S. schools than active-duty military deaths in 2018.
How about “killed by nut job drug addled students”? I don’t think the guns have yet become autonomous.

We should close all government schools and encourage people to homeschool if possible, but institute School Choice for people who wish to make use of private schools.
Do it for the children!

Rittalin-addled snowflakes are more dangerous than terrorists to American children.

I meant physically safe. You have a good point on the mental peril, though.

Snopes: where fact finding is a slogan they never really check out
Ok, boys, a crude metric is worth what, now?
Clearly they are not considering the number of people “in harms way” out of which those deaths occur.
How many soldiers killed out of how many in combat vs how many students and teachers killed out of all those in schools?
note: I’m not saying that for the comparison to make sense they need to consider a school in harm’s way now, only that for one to be considered more dangerous than the other it must be based on actuarial analysis rather than an apples to oranges comparison.

Those being set up to be slaves are often physically safe.

There are 38x more kids enrolled in public schools than there are active military. It’s a dumb argument regardless.

You might answer, yes. Because the military is armed and able to defend themselves, unlike people on a school campus. Guns save lives.

It could be true...I mean, after all, the military has guns, and they can SHOOT BACK at the bad guys.
Schools can’t, therefore they could possibly be construed as “more dangerous”.
Just sayin’

Figures lie and liars figure. There are a lot more scool students than military. More people are killed in cars, bathtubs, swimming pools...

Military=conservative? Not necessarily any more. We are aware of a lot of former military who are uber liberals.
