School kids of the nation seem intent on pursuing varied means of giving enough visibility to school shootings to achieve useful changes in the problem.
Any major discussion of mass shootings eventually gets around to the growing “culture of violence” — the gun-filled movies and video games. School kids could further heighten visibility with protests in Hollywood against the epidemic of violent movies and in Silicon Valley against gun-filled video games.
I don’t know whether this added visibility and the data would help reduce the problem more than the efforts to date have done. I do believe that new benefits would result from recognizing a broader range of contributing factors in school shootings.
