But what if... and hang with me here a sec... we took it as a social responsibility to not allow traumatized people to violently traumatize others?

Call me a crazy liberal, but I think traumatized people should be allowed to kill as many people as they want.

Cool. Let's start with all the replacement theory nuts.

What does the one have to do with the other? Are you suggesting that those that believe that replacement theory is a thing are traumatized? Trauma responses are that politically salient? Wild

That can be puzzling... but in context this was about a war refugee from Ukraine entering public school in the San Fran area and being harassed, assaulted, having her phone stolen, and then the district basically telling her to suck it up when her parents complained. So while replacement theory is problematic, perhaps we look a little earlier and stop allowing violence to rule the schools that already vulnerable kids attend all in the name of 'equity' so that young people are more intellectually and emotionally resilient and thus less likely to fall for nonsense.

Why is equity to blame?

Equity the concept is not to blame, but the current processes attempting to achieve it are destroying schools by erasing policies that exhibit disparate results, meaning that instead of working to improve student outcomes (hard) they simply stop enforcing the problematic policies (easy), so they end up with more equitable outcome statistics but a vastly worse student experience.

edit: As equity is impossible, perhaps the concept is to blame after all. But the immediate issue is a safe learning environment for students and teachers.

Quote:
not allow traumatized people to violently traumatize others

My point was that this quote is easy to say, but impossible to enact if you're only looking at your own preconceived idea of trauma.
