Active-Shooter Drills Are Tragically Misguided

I was surprised that "you look like you'd shoot up a school" is becoming a relatively common insult in middle school kids.

The more society thinks about school shootings, the more mentally troubled people will think about school shootings.

Shooting up schools is a fad. Just like many other types of murders have gone through fads (mail bomber). Copy cat murderers are our biggest problem, and becoming hysterical when school shootings happen is why copy cats are so prolific.

"Adultification" is a good word for the problem, of which shooter drills are a small part.

I appreciate the comparison between "duck and cover" in the 50s to the "active school shooter" of today -- the latter being equally ineffective and as terrifying than the former (if not more).
