Yeah, sounds similar to our approach sans religion. Kids got some messed up stuff to deal with. I grew up with the threat of nuclear annihilation. Terrifying, but impersonal. Now kids have to deal with the possibility of being shot, or hear it happening to a friend or classmate. Someone might pipe up and give a bullshit reason about statistics and how unlikely it is. I can tell you I never had a nuke fall on my school, but there’s kids shot plenty enough.
