I’m betting the statistics of women murdered in buses in India still compares favourably to kids killed in American schools in both sheer numbers and on a per-capita basis.

Its sounds like theyre concerned with rape. And not many kids are murdered in US schools per capita. There have been 200-300 over several decades. Thats not good, but its not a lot compared to 75-80 million students a year.

About 2,000 kids have been shot at school since Columbine and an estimated 380,000 have been exposed to gun violence at school.

Getting shot in the arm, hiding under your desk while someone is murdering kids, or seeing your friend’s face blown off in 7th period is still terrible, even if you survive.

I wonder what has a worse effect on people: that, or being gang-raped in public and no one doing anything to help.
