Jesus Christ… do kids really do regular active shooter drills at school now? This country is beyond fucked.
I’m nearly 30 and did them in elementary school
I’m 43, and we didn’t have them at all by the time I graduated in '96
Columbine was in '99, so that checks out. I think schools started doing them sometime after that tragedy.
Which was kinda weird to me. Bowling Green happened a couple years earlier, and there had been school shootings in this country ever since the mid to late 1800s. Seemed like an overreaction to me.
What are you referring to with Bowling Green?

Apparently it was Paducah, not Bowling Green, I conflated two different stories
