Why do you think there are so many school shootings now as opposed to say 25 to 30 years ago? We all know that guns can’t shoot themselves, so obviously that is not the problem in my opinion. I honestly believe that there is a direct correlation between the rise of school shootings and the taking of God out of the classroom, and kids not getting a well deserved a** whooping. Thoughts on this?

I am sure you can blame anyone if you accept the story we are told. We are not informed. Idiot savants enter schools got everything they aim at. Better than a trained soldier. One even blender in and evacuated with the victims. This is an organized domestic terrorist attack. Homeland security only monitors domestic travel. Or play psycologist and blame it all on mommy.

I agree with the fact that children are being catered to the instant gratification and not taught to have patience and respect for others. Which came when God was in our schools. You take that out and you take away discipline, you want fair. The world isn't fair. You WORK your way up. You overcome obstacles by not letting something stop you. Even if you change what you want to do that fits WHO you are. It takes time to figure it out. This liberal agenda of jumping on a hateful bandwagon of excuses kills the spirit of human GROWTH. All of that is wrong. Don't blame a car for a dwi, don't blame a gun for a shooter, blame a society that wants stupid slaves to work cheap. Blame Democrats for pushing the cheap labor agenda. Blame big biznez greed for bribing our corrupt Congress to do all this. But don't kill the American worker for wanting fair pay by letting greed kill what is trying to do to go back to slavery. Other countries and companies have given fair pay, fair insurance, and are thriving when greed is killing a once great nation.

I agree with your two points: God bring removed from schools and zero discipline (both academic... Such as detention with extra reports, or my favorite... Physical punishment in conjunction with detention and extra homework). I actually believe men have damn near disappeared. These snowflake underage males have no real men to guide them into being real men, because they have no father's. Are bullies part of the problem? ... Yes, because if the bully has a dad, his dad is likely a large coward picking only on the weak, and his kid does the same. The bullied kid likely doesn't have a dad to teach him that when required... after you attempt diplomacy... You must Savagely physically pursuade a bully to leave you alone. My opinion is based on personal experience and those of most my friends. Yes we all were physically persuaded to be respectful both in school and at home... And yes we all had fathers and even mother's for that matter that were fully willing to physically persuade us to be respectful to them and others.

I've done some reading about this particular subject, quite a bit lately. I have found several things they shared. these kids were from single parent homes with the father figure not present in their lives. It seems that they were also tormented by their peers for whatever reason the tormentors could find. Nearly all had access to firearms through family members or owned firearms. They all picked gun free zones to do their deeds. All had mental illnesses, whether or not they were diagnosed before their crime sprees. These each aren't enough to arouse alarms, but as a whole, these taken together should be a warning. Even when one shooter lost his firearm rights, he managed to get firearms. I think that the concept of moral behavior is slowly being replaced by rudeness and abhorrent behavior. I'm sure there are other things that these situations have in common too, but so much information isn't available to the public.

I think it's a left wing scheme to ban guns, the more school shootings the better chance they have of achieving this. By the way we never are told the gun man's political leanings.

I think its due to children not having the social coping mechanisms to deal with confrontation due to being sheltered and so sucked into there phones that they've lost the problem solving skills obtained through social interaction and minor confrontation

Soft targets with high terroristic effect. Nobody likes seeing our kids shot up and schools are a likely and easy target.

Good question, maybe it’s all because of the media hype and constant violence in our everyday life in our society. We now have access to everything and anything in our lives today than 30-40 years ago. The mindset of our society and in general our families breakdown comes to my mind first. You have children growing up with no father or mother figure. You a one parent, who is most likely working while the kids are at school and home alone. You have bullies that want to prove to themselves that they’re great people. Children see people doing things bad and get away with it and they tend to follow that trend. You’re right about one thing though. Our Society as a whole need to be addressed at the lower level of our communities, to our families, and our law abiding people. Will this help with the children harming others? I don’t know, but I pray that it does.

I think taking God out of school have no impact on the students. As a parent I do see more kids being disrespected and also bullying more then when I was on school. With the cellphones in school the school should have a cellphone jamming so the students can learn and not be on their phoned.
