While I don't necessarily believe that children should have 100% care-free lives. After all, learning dangers and safety is part of growing up, but it would seem that some of the active shooter drills are potentially overboard for some younger children.

On top of that, some drills in general seem to be inappropriate across the board. Indiana stupidly ran drills with some sort of pellet guns (Airsoft?) and shot some teachers, execution style, in the heads, raising whelps and breaking skin. That is utterly preposterous. https://www.theindychannel.com/news/...ning-ista-says

I know we are still feeling our way through the development of programs, but preparations/simulations should be age appropriate and they certainly should be safely performed.
