Is it weird that we haven't done a shelter-in-place drill now that the semester has started? I figured we'd do one on day 1.

Pretty sure I'd just bolt from the campus anyway.

That's not common at universities. Generally new hires go through active shooter drills though.

‘Absolutely horrific’: School-shooting-themed sweatshirts slammed by gun violence victims

Quote:
At a fashion show in New York this weekend, a tall model walked down a narrow runway flanked by streetwear devotees. He wore white-and-gold sneakers, khaki pants and a dark gray sweatshirt with the hood up. Across his chest, the word “Columbine” jumped out in embroidered white letters surrounded by ripped holes.

He wasn’t alone. Three other models soon strutted the checkered floor, each wearing a hoodie tattered with bulletlike holes and embroidered with the names of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.

The co-founder of the fashion label later explained he wanted to “make a comment on gun violence … while also empowering the survivors of tragedy.” But instead, the show left victims and their families demanding the company shelve the line and apologize.
that's insane.

It's not even the school names, it's the fact they went and put holes in the shirts that gets me.

No shit I saw a cigar tray at Harrod's in London with Che on it. Took a picture because it was so out of place: "For Fine Havana Cigars" it says. No price in the picture, but it was a lot.
