Do not accept perfection as an enemy of progress!

    If "progress" here means drugging students to tolerate their circumstances, or holding the threat of pepper spray drones over them (doubt this will stay limited to active shooter scenarios), I think it might be progress in the wrong direction.

    I'm pretty sure they meant that the gun regulation, help and free healthcare would be progress, not so much the drugs and the drones.

    I guess that makes sense. It just frustrates me that the scope of the discussion is all solutions that would not help directly with any problems potentially murderously suicidal teens have in their lives, the growth of those problems which you might imagine is the reason this has become a trend, but instead basically just preventing them from responding destructively.
