#walkupnotout asks students to take responsibility for the mental health of their classmates, suggesting that school shootings are *their fault* for not being "nicer." It's victim-blaming. Stop it.

It's baffling to me that people think that instead of making it harder for a troubled teenager with a history of violence to get his hands on an AR-15, we should just tell students to "be nice" and hope he doesn't shoot them. Good grief.

Of course I want to see students reach out to one another and be kind to one another! But offering a hug to a troubled student is not going to magically solve significant mental health challenges where clinical care is needed, nor will it protect against an AR-15...

And also, telling female students to get more intimately involved in the lives of troubled young men plagued by things like racism, violence, & toxic masculinity may in some cases be dangerous advice.

Replying to @rachelheldevans
So befriending, talking to, & understanding a fellow student who might be troubled.. trouble that no one else knows about & you could bring attention to, isn’t part of the solution to a complex school violence epidemic? Also, men are evil. Got it.
