So, I got an email from my daughter’s school yesterday. Keep in mind this school has only grades K-1, meaning 5-7 year olds.

The email was to notify all parents and guardians that in light of the country’s climate, all county schools will be enacting WEEKLY ACTIVE SHOOTER DRILLS.

Let that fucking sink in, my fellow Americans.

A school with 5-7 year old children is having active shooter drills more often than fire drills or tornado drills because this goddamn country and Republican rhetoric will allow 19 fucking school shootings since JANUARY and “send their thoughts and prayers” rather than enact gun control laws.

I literally hate every single person who screams about violating the Constitution with gun control. I hope you motherfuckers choke because I had to sit down with my frightened six year old daughter and she asked, “is someone going to bring a gun to my school and shoot people?” And I could NOT tell her, “no.”

Fuck you, Conservative America. Fuck you and your fear mongering and making my daughter tell me all about how she thought about pretending to be sick so she didn’t have to get on the bus and go to school BECAUSE SHE IS SIX YEARS OLD AND SCARED THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO SHOOT HER IN HER CLASSROOM.

I’m so angry about this. So sad. Sorry for the rant, but I was stewing too much to function. I’ll delete later.
