Any talk about “mental health” is pure gaslighting BS by the shovel full. Everyone knows that as soon as there is any actual proposal to fund mental health services or make them more accessible (maybe as part of the Affordable Care Act), every Republican will vote against it.
Every other industrialized nation in the world has mental illness, video games, school bullying, etc., but we are the only ones suffering through a genocidal epidemic of firearm carnage.
Conservatives love to brag about “American exceptionalism,” but what that means is that the people of every other industrialized nation are good enough, smart enough and worthy enough to be able to send their children to safe schools without fear of their little bodies being horribly mutilated by AR-15 bullets, EXCEPT Americans.
The same people who refuse to adequately fund books, pencils, paper or teacher salaries and give HOLLOW LIP SERVICE to funding mental health service actually want to pay for every teacher to carry a Glock so they can do what trained, armed SWAT officers were too cowardly and spineless to do, and transform schools from pleasant havens where children can learn and feel safe into armed, heavily-fortified prison fortress where children cower in terror in front of armed teachers.
Oh, and Ted Cruz thinks all schools should have one single door, so a high school with 4,000 kids all have to enter at the same point of entry or exist, and if there is a fire you’ll count the burned bodies in the hundreds instead of bloodied bodies counted in scores.
So we turn our schools into forts? What about the grocery stores, the churches, the movie theaters, the concerts, the night clubs, etc., etc., etc.
