Mass Shooting Ed

'Murika where the only class you'll be taught to wrap it is “School-Age Trauma Training,” and not Sex Ed.

Quote:

The School-Age Trauma Training program also comes on the heels of other proposed responses to school shootings that do not address gun control. After the Parkland shooting, for example, President Trump and other Republican officials, joined by the NRA, called for teachers to be armed. … “Similar to how students learn health education and driver’s education, they must learn proper bleeding control techniques using commonly available materials; including how to use their hands, dressings and tourniquets,” the records state. The training is also to include “information on how to use one’s hands to apply pressure to a wound when nothing else is immediately available.” The documents delineate several phases to the program, culminating in a “Strategic Business Plan” to solicit donations in order to make the program a “long-term self-sustaining mechanism.” In other words, this does not appear to be a short-term experiment. The records at some points go into morbid detail, noting, “Victims can quickly die from uncontrolled bleeding within five to 10 minutes; however, anyone at the scene can act as immediate responder and save lives if they know what to do.”

And the pièce de résistance:

Quote:

The program does not appear to be concerned exclusively with saving lives. As one passage notes, trainees are expected “to act quickly and decisively in the face of disasters, thereby preventing death and injuries, minimizing loss of property [emphasis added], and allowing for a more rapid and efficient recovery.”

A *Chef's kiss* for late stage capitalism.
