Comment on I don't have any kids or anything but want some one day. I grew up under the fog of 9/11. How do you go about explaining terrorism and evil to young kids without storybooking it?

  What does your last sentence have to do with the question

    • Question is about explaining terrorism to kids.

    • Kids go to school.

    • School shooters famously also target schools.

    • Kids are aware of terrorism due to the constant threat of a school shooting.

        I don’t know what to tell you. When it comes to school shootings, it’s politics all the way down. There’s a reason that the US is the only developed country selling bullet-proof gear in the back-to-school section.

    it gives a reason for the first sentence. ‘The sky is blue. Blue light gets scattered more than other colors.’ Same idea.

        OP asks how to explain to kids about terrorism.

        Bro kids today are fully aware about terrorism

        Guy says kids don’t need to have terrorism explained to them.

        School shooters are … terrorists

        Guy provides a reason why kids don’t need to have terrorism explained: they already learn about it in the form of school shooters, who are terrorists.

        mainly right wing

        Guy makes an assertion in the middle of the previous sentence that doesn’t really have much to do with it. Whether or not it’s true has no bearing on the everything else.
