School Shooting Solution

Dear Children Who Are So Scared Of Being Shot At School:

Don't just walk out - drop out. Then mommy or daddy can home school you, or you can just wait till you're an adult and get that GED.

I mean, your life is at stake, right? Something just "has" to be done, right? You need solid solutions, not feel good crap from we adults, right?

Well then. Don't just walk out - drop out.

If you were serious. And if your mommy and daddy who put you up to this "walk out" were serious, I bet they'll support you in that plan, won't they?

I bet the mommy and daddy who claim to be proud of your "walk out" will no doubt re-arrange their lives and financial priorities to make sure that one of them can stay home and home school you, won't they?

What's a more modest standard of living when a life - your own - is at stake, eh? I mean, it's legal for one of them to work a job and a half and for all of you to live in a small efficiency apartment, or to move back in with family, isn't it?

And with most of you, this wouldn't even involve that, but just having a slightly smaller house, or not going on vacations quite as much, or other such minor curtailments to spending, right? But even if it meant major changes, that would still be okay to protect your precious life - right?

I mean, because I'd hardly recommend any of these economic status changes for small stuff - but you are assuring us this is life or death - right?

And I bet that even if your mommy is a single mommy, she'll form a cooperative with other single mommies, just so that they can all have you and theirs home schooled for free, in utter safety - right?

Right?

I mean, each single mother will work their various jobs, and they'll coordinate with each other as to which days off they'll each dedicate to teaching you all - because it's your life at stake!

I mean, yeah, that would be complicated, but if it saved one life - right?

Or - were you and your parents blowhard fools who talk a good game about the precious lives of kids, but won't burn a calorie to do anything real to solve it?

Were foot stomps and "walk outs" just to impact the rights of others, and not something that is supposed to make any change in your behaviors and choices?

Was it just others who were to sacrifice and strive and change - and none of this was to have you guys make any meaningful change at all? Yeah, gee - maybe you kids really are running this "walk out" because that's about as childish a "solution" as I've ever heard.

Where someone else does all the work for what you say you want, and you make no changes at all.

Yeah. We can all sit back and watch now. And see which of your oh so concerned parents start home schooling - and which still blithely send their kids to those supposedly so dangerous public schools while they continue their 21st century American consumerist lifestyles unimpeded, and un-inconvenienced.
