Ahhh, Lemmy's fantastic new content sorting algorithm strikes again.

Lol, poor OP posting a timely and relevant piece of news only to have it downvoted to hell a year later because of a lemmy bug.

Sorry, muad dibber, if you're still here.

Could also be the fact that it’s on lemmygrad…

Do you downvote accurate news because you don’t like the source?

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did I claim to? Knowing a potential reason for something doesn’t mean I do it myself. I know the most likely way a child will die in America as well, does that insinuate I’m out there shooting children?

In that case, I asked a question, I didn’t insinuate anything. You don’t need to answer if you don’t want to though

This horrible thing happened in May. Why are you posting it now?

[–] notun@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

Lemmy sometimes brings up really old posts for no apparent reason.

I’ve heard right-wing dipshits saying to arm the teachers. How about the liberal teachers that may not want to use a firearm? What about the cost of arming AND training every teacher? Who is the lowest level employee with access to firearms at work? What happens when, not if, but when a larger student charges the teacher and takes their gun? Isn’t the main thing that’s stopping most potential school shooters the fact that they don’t have access to a gun easily? Well, that just puts a new gun into the mix that the kid wouldn’t be able to use.

They don't even pay the teachers enough to teach, let alone double as security.

Actually, giving firearm training to a group of underpaid and underappreciated members of the working class might not be too bad of an idea.

I like the way you think
