Return to Order:
The gun control debate has reignited with the recent Florida shooting.
Despite the passionate commentaries on all sides, no one seems to be

The correlation between public school environments and the
deteriorating mental health of children has been intensifying for
decades. We ought to consider how these settings serve as incubators for
the social alienation that can fuel such horrors. First, consider how common it is for a public high school today to
house thousands of teenagers for most of their waking hours for four

the most recent shooting took place.) During their time in that maze,
kids learn to “socialize,” basically by finding their place in a
school’s hierarchy of cliques. This sort of pecking order dynamic tends to breed resentment, status anxiety,
and social dysfunction. Combine that with the toxic effects of social
media and family breakdown, and you’ve got a deadly brew. Public
schooling is increasingly unhealthy for kids’ emotional stability. Let
us count the ways. (Read more.)
