    That’s the stupidest logic that I hear repeated.

    A.cops don’t do shit B. There’s still a phone in every room anyways not every kid needs one.

    You don’t need your kid to have a computer in their pocket everyday just in the unlikely occasion a school shooting is happening in which case they can still just use the school phone…

      Ah yes!

      Students, we must all line up to call your parents before your untimely demise in an orderly fashion. You may only have a few seconds to say your last words each. Timmy, no, you cannot call your grandparents too, we only have one phone and we must be sure every student gets a chance.

        The same logic used to have nuclear drills where you get under the desks. It’s ineffective, does nothing, and will change nothing. It only serves for helicopter parents to feel better about themselves. As their kids brains rot away

          I mean in a situation where you truly can do nothing, giving the masses something to do at least makes them feel slightly less powerless

          Also duck and cover would have been effective for some of the earliest nuclear bombs, just not the ones developed a few years later
