I don't see the point of forcing children to go to school tomorrow.....they are justifiabily frightened. A child has already been shot, now it's in their town. It's not like our country has adapted to the evil which goes on daily in the Middle East, Jewish children (and Palestinian children), growing up amid bombings and shellings. And if that's what we're just "going to have to get used to," then it'll take some time to do that. We don't have the resources to outfit every police department, school, bus, etc., with security. I'd keep my child home, who would be emotional distraught right now if it were around us.

Will it all be safe on Tuesday, or are you prepared to keep the children out indefinitely?

It's the adults, not the children who are so frightened. Teenagers have that "I'm immortal; it won't happen to me" attitude.

And why are these children frightened?

Maybe because these days their faces are plastered in front of a television set, instead of outside getting some exercise?

Maybe because parents these days dont have the patience to explain to children that their odds of being shot are astronomical, and that they could just as easily win the state lottery?

Maybe because these days, we are a nation of wimps, who would trade our freedoms to insure a fresh supply of coffee beans for Starbucks?

Why dont we all just cower under the covers, and await our eventual destruction?
