Which section from the text best demonstrates the change in school shooters over time? A. “His mother was an alcoholic who lived with a series of violent men. In one two-
year stretch, he lived in 10 foster homes and was both sexually and physically
abused.” (Paragraph 21)
B. “That’s what Paton and Larkin mean: the effect of Harris and Klebold’s example
was to make it possible for people with far higher thresholds — boys who would
ordinarily never think of firing a weapon at their classmates — to join in the
riot.” (Paragraph 51)
C. “The prosecution saw someone who wanted to be Eric Harris and plainly
assumed that meant he must be like Eric Harris, that there must be a dark heart
below LaDue’s benign exterior.” (Paragraph 56)

there was nothing we could do, that no law or intervention or restrictions on
guns could make a difference in the face of someone so evil.” (Paragraph 66)

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
