School shooting this morning in Marshall County High School

FYI, this is about 20 minutes from us. Sad day in western KY.

There was one in Texas today or yesterday as well. These tragic events are too common in America.

I agree. We are still waiting for names and details. 15 year old shooter, 2 15 year olds dead. Glad my grandkids are homeschooled, this wasn’t a problem when my boys were growing up. Neither were cell phones and social media. Wonder if there is any connection (serious question)?

kids do have access to a lot of information whether for good or evil causes. Algorithms used in social media does not help as well. Say you looked at something or even clicked by mistake suddenly you get ton on recommendation and distraction on that particular topic and it keeps deepening  each time you click or browse.

When working a cleaning job as a teenager (most of us were immigrants) we had an American supervisor that would say "welcome to America" whenever we asked a question about why things were done this way in US.  This is what comes to my mind now in terms of how to describe what goes on here. Welcome to America.
