  Yes. It’s not teaching about gun violence but education in general.

    Ok great. So the conclusion is that practically nothing can be done to reduce gun violence in America beyond what we are already doing. We are already edumacating the populace as fast as we can and while there has been progress, results are slowish and variable. No law could have ever stopped the Kansas city shooting and one must accept that the price you pay for all this freedom and liberty is the chance that you could get shot at any moment. Unless of course, you are wealthy. God Bless America.

      Are we really educating the population? Test scores are dropping. We are spending time teaching children there are 57 genders and that everything is racist. We have a 1619 project trying to teach children misinformation.

      We need to go back to education and teach what is important. Right now, we are wasting valuable time teaching BS when we should be teaching what matters. kids lost a lot of time with COVID. We need to focus on getting them back on track, otherwise we will have a lost generation
