A month ago ( http://werejustpassingthru.blogspot.com/2018/02/was-it-really-surprise.html ) I posted a question to anybody who was willing to read yet another commentary on school shootings. So many stupid ideas have been voiced instead of actually passing and enforcing some laws to help curb gun violence, particularly school shootings. I'm sure the NRA is smugly secure in its role of supporting gun sales by buying off legislators or threatening them with a well-financed campaign ("primarying") against any effort to have some effect. A lot of stupid ideas about how to protect our school children have been discussed, some even put into effect.
I asked at the end what other stupid ideas people had out there to do anything but something effective. I've gotten an answer, I'm sorry to say. The school district of Blue Mountain, PA has decided to institute a program of supplying every classroom with a bucket of rocks.
WTF? Are you shitting me?
Are they thinking the bullied students - because popular culture has that as the root cause for all school shooters - will turn to the rocks and throw them at their classmates instead of bringing in a "legal" AR-15? Or are they suggesting that the students can actually defend themselves against a hail of bullets by throwing a rock or two the shooter's way before the target they present in the process gets them among the first to be killed?
Yep. Dumbest idea yet.
