    At graduation: “Look to your left. Now look to your right. Remember those faces, as some of them may try to kill you in the future, and some might not make it through the next few years.”

    Just bonkers.

      And I thought the version of that talk that my 9th grade class got a few decades ago (“1 in 3 of you aren’t going to graduate high school”) was grim.

      It’s somewhat uncommon for a graduating class to all survive education my experience as an American. And that’s despite not knowing any school shootings. It’s usually suicide or reckless driving.
