“Proposed Texas Law Wants to Make School Children 'Battlefield' Ready

In response to school shootings, a new bill in Texas would require public schools to install "bleeding stations" and train kids as young as third grade in trauma care.”

This is grotesque.

The United States of America is a war zone.

The children are hostages.

The terrorists are hiding behind the hostages.

The terrorists are the Republicans.

The NRA funds terrorism.

Only you can end this.

Should Schools Train Children to be 'Battlefield' Ready? New Texas Law Would Do Just That

In response to school shootings, a new bill in Texas would require public schools to install "bleeding stations" and train kids as young as third grade in trauma care methods.

@fsinn
Can you imagine this???

To "triage" one must also make a judgement as to which person is salvageable and which is less so or not at all. Basic medical stuff.

Eight-year-olds being told to decide who can be saved and who they must leave to die.

I'm going to say this louder-

EIGHT-YEAR-OLDS. BEING. TOLD. TO. DECIDE. WHO. CAN. BE. SAVED. AND. WHO. THEY. MUST. LEAVE. TO. DIE.

When there are real alternatives, this is sickening.

@TonyStark It’s beyond my comprehension. It is so, so heartbreaking watching it. I’m gutted thinking of everyone there living through it and the unimaginable stress and trauma of just trying to keep your children safe day after day. It’s barbaric.

@fsinn
It’s beyond my comprehension.

@TonyStark

It's beyond all rational minds comprehension.
But here we are... at a place in time where one of the two main US political parties is a faux Christian, fascist terrorist organization...

@TonyStark @fsinn I can’t with this. I have grandchildren and I feel like my words are frozen just thinking of this.
@fsinn @CatDragon My daughter was recently traumatized by a lockdown from a hoax shooter threat. I can’t imagine putting kids through this.

@TonyStark @fsinn School children learning triage is nothing according to #gop compared to the #trauma of schoolchildren forced to wear masks during a #pandemic.

@fsinn @marcibadwolf303 Right? If it made sense, Republicans wouldn’t touch it.
@TonyStark @fsinn 🤬🤬 Force the lawmakers to go to the scenes of every one of these shootings immediately after they happen. Maybe they'll come to their senses.
I can't vote in Texas. But, I feel for the people there who want a safe life.
@ldmay65 @fsinn Anything is better than this. They need to look.
@ldmay65
I said the same thing...
Only I said they should have to clean up the crime scene....maybe when they have to pick up a baby with no face they will wake the fuck up ...
Doubt it ,because that NRA money is more important.....
@TonyStark @fsinn my God.
Seems there’s no bottom to my disgust.
They are offensive destroyers from hell.
Someday we’ll know the truth of the point of spreading Covid lies & turning America into a human slaughterhouse house.
@TonyStark @fsinn
They claim to be "Christians", but their worldview is that of the lions they were fed to.

@TonyStark @fsinn

It truly is utterly incomprehensible that this is their response to a gun problem.

So much research shows taking away the guns greatly reduces gun related deaths.

The NRA has blood in its hands.

@fsinn don’t forget the Kremlin funds the NRA.
So, in essence, the Republican Party is an arm of the Russian military.
@oldmanmike I went down a rabbithole on Twitter the other day, and the number of vehemently pro-Putin, anti-human rights (LGBTQIA), racist, White-Supremacist accounts on this one thread was shocking. These are scary people, and they were all Trump-MAGA supporters. Most had “Christian” or “God” references in their profiles. Dangerous times.
@fsinn Wow, truly, uniquely horrible. It’s so bizarre to be alive in this time of such advanced knowledge yet backwards society.
@fsinn
I honestly believe that Abbott enjoys seeing people die, even more so if he played a part in causing their deaths, as with allowing people to die because connecting with the US power grid would be less profitable for the people who back him in office. He likes to see Mexicans die at the border. Abbot is a sadistic monster.
@fsinn Until we get sensible gun regulations in place, yes as sick as this may sound. At least those poor kids can safe each other on some level. But make all those republican look into those kids eyes. How such dangerous losers can hold such a handle over all of us is beyond me. All of us who know that our children deserve better need to make a stronger stand and get them out of power.
@irisRichardson @fsinn No, no and a thousand times no. It is not even remotely acceptable to subject children that young to such “training”, unless the objective is to further desensitize them to the world that their political leaders are creating.
@walkonh20 @fsinn Yet it seems to be ok to do regular shooter drills. The damage to our children has been done many times over. Off course gun control would be the right thing to do.
@coachjz I’m pretty sure he’s saying “What the actual fuck?” Or maybe that was just in my head.
@fsinn You wait. They'll be put in the Army next...
@fsinn You know what they say - if you can't bring kids to the battlefield then bring battlefield to the kids

@fsinn
We are much more willing to militarize our schools than demilitarize our civilians. To arm our children with tourniquets than disarm the adults who have a responsibility to care for them.

We are so lost.

@fsinn whats next, full combat training is made a central part of the Texan ed system
@fsinn And Russia funds the NRA

@fsinn

These are the Republican billionaires funding the Texas GOP.

They are the ones who give Abbott his marching orders.

https://www.texastribune.org/2022/10/18/greg-abbott-texas-fundraising-governor-donors/

In Texas, where money has long dominated politics, Greg Abbott is in a league of his own

The two-term governor’s donors enjoy access, appointments to boards and commissions, and a chance to bend the ear of a politician who may harbor bigger ambitions.

The Texas Tribune
@fsinn GOP voters want it this way.
@muzikant Yes, they do. The uncomfortable truth is that the real problem is not the politicians, the problem is the tens of millions of people who continue to elect them, and the tens of millions who don’t care enough to vote.
@fsinn US is one of the most violent countries in the world. Full stop.
This is doubly bad, because it not only affects US; but also, because of the over-large influence of US packaged media throughout the world. Case in point is the recent upsurge in smash and grab crimes in Asia - many are directly copying crimes in US that are broadcast via US media.
@fsinn sick. So we will have little MASH hospitals next to - or inside of - schools? Insanity. Guns have more value than children to the GOP/NRA.
@fsinn Anything to protect the gun industry
@fsinn
Seems like an excellent way to normalize mass murdering in US society. And if the mission, vision and goal of #Texas is to normalize mass murder then the state legislature is on the right track. But it's a weird platform, huh?
@fsinn the GOP again enter into another phase of Child Grooming that is both grotesque and abusive. This is governmental overreach. The best solution is gun controls, licensure, training, background checks. Please tell me what’s liberal about that?
@fsinn This is Horrifying!!! I am disgusted daily at what the GQP Domestic Terrorists are doing to this Country!

@fsinn

Create hell.

Teach your children to live in hell.

Republican America.

@kevinrns @fsinn convince your kids that the hell you’ve created is the best in the world and everyone would live there if they could.

@fsinn "Battle Ready"? - like those children soldiers in Rwanda that the world was outraged by?

Tourniquets and pressure bandages are a long way from "playing doctors and nurses"

I guess these are the same people with the "Let Kids Be Kids" sign at the Drag Story Times?

@fsinn after thinking about this I decided to share the ugly truth. Injuries to children from high powered rifles aren’t survivable in an operating room. They’re trying to tell people the injuries are neat little bullet holes when in reality it’s a body part turned to suet.
@fsinn só children are to young to know about gender but they’re not too young to try to save their classmates from dying? 😐

@fsinn

The chud favored candidate even won the school district seats by a wide margin. A lot of the races don't have candidates endorsed by the local democratic party or any labor unions (aside from police unions). That included the race for mayor. FWIW, I voted.

@fsinn This mentality for real exists in TX-24.
@fsinn Why do they keep voting for GQP then?

@fsinn
Importantly, this is also part of their longstanding goal to destroy public education in the United States.

#USpol #Republicans #Texas #GOP #Education

@fsinn GOP - grooming of children for battle because adults are afraid of government or something.
@fsinn
This is horrible.
But, suburban women are currently the most powerful voting block in our country.
So good luck with this approach.
@fsinn retired Texas teacher here. My last couple of years we were given a bleed kit in case of a mass shooting. However, the kit was for one person. It’s so ridiculous. It’s the fucking guns. They think putting the Ten Commandments in classrooms will make a difference😂
@fsinn Can it get any sicker than this? Hang on, I don't want to know the answer.
@fsinn imagine choosing to raise your children in Call of Duty instead of Animal Crossing
