    Lol so your rebuttal to the article is because someone else called these schools? And that faculty lie? Did you even read the article? The way the gov. Got these metrics is literally how you just used to refute the point… it’s actually worse because the gov. Didn’t even call and get a person, they just had a form…lol

    You and the others who don’t like the data from a left leaning source…wow…

      My rebuttal is that it’s simply unreliable to ask random faculty members to tell you the truth about things that make their school look bad.

      That’s not unreasonable, even for yes, this huge liberal hippie.

      “We called each school multiple times for 3 months” tells me absolutely nothing. It could have been two calls, it could have been two thousand, but they are extremely short on details for some reason.

      And since they outsourced it to a third party it adds another layer of obfuscation that makes it difficult to answer anything.

      And finally, the way they settled on not being able to confirm or deny most of the shootings, but still phrased it as if kids shooting each other at school wasn’t a big deal. Like, seriously?

      I’m very disappointed in the author of this NPR article, which usually does their due diligence on these issues.

        But again… you’re ok with how the info is gained? Because it supports your view that school shootings happen a few times a day in the US…got it.
