“Chances are, you’re never ever going to have to use this. If you do, it’s gonna be scary,” Kate Carleton told the 20 or so 8- and 9-year-olds. “But because we’ve taught you what to do, it makes it a little less scary.”
She spent the next 30 minutes teaching them how to stop a wound from bleeding out.

Although a child dying at school in a mass shooting may be unlikely, a child dying from a gunshot is not. Firearms are the leading cause of death among people 18 and younger in the US, accounting for nearly 19% of all childhood deaths.
As with bulletproof backpacks and multiple security doors in schools… another thing that shouldn’t exist in the first place, and it’s only necessary because dead kids aren’t enough for Americans to reconsider how convenient it is to kill people here.
Maybe we could teach kids how to amend the Constitution since no one of current voting age seems capable of it.
Lol they’d rather teach 5 year olds how to bandage a gun wound then legislate military weapons.
Then “oh wow these gay librarians are ruining our children’s innocence!” LOL what???
I am never opposed to any sort of survival, triage, or emergency training. Wounds, broken bones, severe weather… things that should be taught in schools. Do you want the next generation to be better? Teach them about the consequences of our freedoms and how to deal with them.
THIS is what we need! I FULLY support teaching Kindergarteners how to dress wounds so that Mentally Insane Criminals can continue using guns (because ANY sort of Regulation is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!)
