The incident in Ohio, where a teenager opened fire wounding four people may very well bear the same origins as the other shootings. My concern with this recent shooting is that students viewed as "different" are going to be targeted by teachers and students, which will only inflame these "different" students even more. Although no one has mentioned it, I cannot help but suspect that this student was subjected to bullying.
Bullying has got to be the most underrated problem in schools. I have constantly heard adults say that bullying is not a big deal, but for a teenager or younger person, it is a huge deal. Schools should start implementing rules that buckle down on bullying instead of fishing out atheists and those who listen to Marilyn Manson.
Unless of course they want to wait until it happens to their school to act.
