    SEOs have never stopped a school shooting. 30 years or so we’ve been using them since Columbine and not once have they done what legislatures claim they are for. Putting a lot of children in prison they are great at though.

      they need to somehow feed the pipeline to for-profit prison or as cannon fodder for the militayr, or a conservative low wage worker.

    The real reason they are in schools, not to protect but rather get kids used to their authority.

      To fill the prisons with as many slaves as they can. If they get kids into juvie, there’s a much higher chance they’ll turn to crime as adults.

    Yeah, no shit. The pigs are just schoolyard bullies who never progressed but instead found employment that called for their area of expertise.

      They took that high school altitude test, and they matched with military, police officer, and loan shark enforcer.

    Texas ignored everything about that. The truth is they should have fired every cop there. What good is it to put cops in schools when you know when the bullets start flying they will run away and cower?

      You really think global birth rates are down because of cops in Texas schools?

          Poorer countries and poorer people in developed countries have higher birth rates so I doubt that’s the reason.

          It’s the exact opposite. Birth rates are down in developed countries where life is less shitty. People don’t have kids because they have better things to do.

        More related to our leadershit consistently making shitty decisions. This is but one example in a long-established pattern.

        People have fucking had enough.

          Why are birthrates also down in countries with highest life satisfaction and highest government trust?

            Maybe you should ask someone in one of those nations? I can only speak on behalf of where I live and have personal experience with.

            My guess would be that even absent the dangers of school shootings and overly aggressive government agents, they still face considerable economic pressures that prompt them to reconsider. Housing prices being commonly cited, with many parts of the developed world being worse than the U.S.

            Bottom line is that for most people opting out, there are multiple factors adding up. If you’re looking for the one thing, you will be disappointed.

              So why do poor people in those countries have more children? You’re theory simply doesn’t add up. Of course there are multiple factors. If you look closely I didn’t name any factors, you did. And the factor you named is simply not that important. Even if you eliminate it and look only at extremely wealthy people they still don’t have birth rates above replacement rates.

                So you actually expect me to believe that safe schools (presence or absence) isn’t something that would affect your decision? If you really are claiming this, then I would be concerned about your priorities.

                If this isn’t something that is important to you, I’m not going to try and convince you because that is well beyond the scope of this discussion.

                  My decision about having kids? Of course not. Because I don’t want kids. I never liked kids, never wanted them, didn’t have them, not going to have them. For me the reasons are:

                  1. I don’t want kids

                  2… That’s it

                  Why are you concerned about my priorities? Recent data from Poland I’ve seen show that majority of people without kids think like me. They simply don’t want them. Some people can’t afford them. Small fraction are concerned about the state of the world, climate change and so on.

                  Just to be clear, safe schools are important to me because general safety, education and social wellbeing is important to me. Does it affect my decisions about kids? Not at all.
