Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.

    Once the drones are taken over by child-shooter hackers, ICBM launches against random schools will be used as a deterrent. Failing that all schools will be closed and the problem with “school shootings” will finally be solved! /s

      You jest, but remember that the Dept of Education has been EO’d almost out of existence, currently run by Vince McMahon’s wife who is a staunch supporter of “school choice” and charter schools. These are the easiest way to re-segregate schools, put the curriculum back in the hands of moneyed interests, and defund public education.

      The trend will be that public schools will have all the kids who are economically disadvantaged, disaffected, badly taught, and unable to be helped by teachers and faculty who are underpaid, understaffed, and hobbled by bad policy, the more school shootings will become a problem that doesn’t affect a certain segment of society. Any parents who can, will pull their kids from failing public schools and pay more to have their kids attend other schools, or even homeschool. The fewer kids the public schools have, the more budget cuts will be authorised.

      All public schools will ultimately be shuttered, under this plan. School shootings will keep happening of course, but once it only affects rich white kids, it will finally be taken seriously, at least.
