  1. WHY is this even necessary? We're the adults. It's OUR responsibility to protect these kids and we're FAILING at it. This stuff isn't cute!

  2. What about books to help children process trauma of gang violence in the inner cities? Where far more shootings occur.

  3. I regret watching this.., I learnt nothing but just how I’ll the US gun culture is

  4. Jesus… you guys in the US simply have to change you gun culture … please ffs.. for your kids…🤯
    Do you not get that in the wealthiest nation known to mankind it just is wrong , for your children to live with this fear and stress… who will they grow into..?
    Literally only in the US🤯

  5. Other countries don't need these school shooting books 📚 😒😒 the US is normalizing school shooting! How about gun control?

  6. Too many very rich people and millions of unnecessarily poor people. There is no trickle down wealth that will ever get to the poorest because the rich will take even more and the poor will get next to nothing and barely be able to survive, ..many won't survive. Invest wisely!!

  7. It was written by some of the shooters?
    While NBC serpent brainwashing disinformants lined the kiddies up for thekvdethjab
    Cuz
    Demon people are murdering off humanity

  8. One of the Language Arts teachers in our local school district refused to stop teaching Ghost Boys despite numerous complaints from concerned parents. The indoctrination never, ever stops. The normalization of violence is okay as long as it supports the far-left agenda. 🤮

  9. I guess this is the solution for some, pretty sad.

  10. Kids are heading to the fear of a battlefield every school day. This would NEVER happen at a US PRISON, think about that!
    Yet, they still can't protect our children after all these years!?!

  11. Do whatever helps the children overcome their emotional pain in a productive way.

  12. Hare Krishna Hare
    Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
    Free Sunday love feast every week. Like nothing you have tasted before.
    Food offered to Sri Krishna. It's called prasadam. (Lord's mercy) Come join us at an Iskcon temple near you. Chant, dance, and be happy!

  13. THE JOE BRINGS PAIN,FEAR AND SADNESS
    LIFE WITHOUT TRUMP IS MADNESS
