These kids were NOT "poor", though! (And apparently Lanza's family was wealthy.)

One family is not a majority and the majority of these kids went to public school. If your are really wealthy you dont go to public school. This is the bottom 222 million of us killing each other whether it be from white supremist rhetoric or crappy living conditions and no health care. The goal is to keep all of us fighting each other. Metaphorically and literally. So the rich just keep getting richer. Ie the top 1%.

We'll agree to disagree. IMO, "poor" is an entirely different animal from "middle class". (I do agree that the 1% is a WAAAYYY different "class" than middle class.) BTW, that Nashville School is private, and tuition is $16,000/yr. The killer had attended that school as a child.

This brings up a valid point. If a school district taxes are $16,000 a year is it really a public school? In order to go to that public school you'd have to have a lot of money. So public/private what would the difference be. It would be a school for people with money. So I self immolate my own argument.

Excellent point. Sandy Hook was a public school, but I can only begin to guess what the property taxes were in that wealthy town.
