Because of American gun laws.

America forgot the roots and values it was founded on, and pushed them out of schools, out of the justice system and out of their homes and out of laws and politics. unfortunately, there are consequences for that

How else would we know they even have schools?

How else would we know they even have schools?

can't argue with this. the education system has become a leftist indoctrination and propaganda camp, not a school or college

Psychotic ratrace country where nobody has time to parent their kids because they are too busy working to survive.
Social and mental issues of people mostly left ignored for corporate profit.
Deliberate devaluation of education by ruling elite to keep population under their thumb.
Quality education locked away from general public via expensive private schools so quality education can be kept in ruling elite families.
Combine that to easy access to guns and you have great mix.

because of all the yugioh duels

because the dems/left made it this way.

when i was going to highschool, it was filled with gangs, crime and more, it had armed cops roaming the halls as "security guards".

it has only gotten worse as the decades have past, with the addition of the nonsense that has been happening, these past years.

anywho, have a nice day

Why are American schools so dangerous? There's always a school shooting, attacks on other students and attacks on staff.
Why is this?

I dont know in my day for me Monster Trucks were the ultimate weapon and it was more about the facility itself and always an utter fantasy. Though sometimes the teacher was the villain when she gave you homework. And we would sing, glory glory hallelujah the teacher chased me with the ruler so I hid behind the door with a magnum 44 and there wasnt a teacher anymore. Of course this sounds stupid and irresponsible outside of a 5th grade level.

Its weird to bring a gun to school and be a kid and not understand thats excessively dangerous for everyone involved.

where did that song originate

From ChatGPT

The parody song “Glory, Glory Hallelujah, the teacher hit me with a ruler…” originated as a darkly humorous playground rhyme in the United States, likely evolving during the mid-20th century among schoolchildren.

This rhyme is a parody of the Civil War-era anthem “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” and versions of it have circulated in American schools for decades. It typically features exaggerated or violent imagery directed at teachers or school staff, often as a form of rebellious fantasy or comic relief among children.

🧒 Playground Origins and Variations
The song has been documented in oral histories and folklore studies, especially among Baby Boomers and Gen Xers who recall singing it on school buses or playgrounds.

It’s part of a broader tradition of children’s parody songs, where familiar tunes are twisted to express frustration, rebellion, or absurd humor.

Variants include lines like:

“Met her at the door with a loaded .44”

“Hit her in the butt with a rotten coconut”

“I popped her on the bean with a tangerine”

📚 Cultural and Historical Context
These rhymes often reflect childhood powerlessness, turning authority figures like teachers into villains in exaggerated narratives.

Scholars have noted that such songs can be a way for children to process discipline, express autonomy, or simply entertain each other with taboo humor.

The rhyme’s popularity spread through oral tradition, not formal publication, making its exact origin hard to pinpoint. It likely emerged in the 1950s–1970s, with regional variations across the U.S.

While clearly inappropriate by adult standards, these songs were rarely meant to be taken seriously. They reflect a kind of imaginative rebellion—similar to your Monster Truck fantasy—where kids play with power dynamics in a world they don’t fully understand.

If you're curious, I can dig deeper into other schoolyard rhymes or how children’s folklore has evolved over time.

“Hit her in the butt with a rotten coconut” is funny

From ChatGPT

It really is one of those absurd, over-the-top lines that only kids could dream up and somehow make hilarious. The sheer randomness of a rotten coconut as a weapon of rebellion is peak playground comedy—equal parts silly and surreal.

These kinds of rhymes were part of a whole genre of schoolyard humor where the goal was to shock, amuse, and bond with friends through shared mischief. They often pushed boundaries in ways that felt rebellious but were ultimately harmless in intent. It’s like a child’s version of satire—mocking authority with fruit-based weaponry and exaggerated bravado.

Mass shootings only make up 1 percent of gun deaths in the United States. School shootings make up even less.

But let’s move on to the reason why people do it. Some people want fame, some people do it for revenge, or some people are just evil.

they really arent. Media doesnt equal reality.

Media doesn’t like to cover gang violence. Stories of “Gang shoots up neighborhood” barely make it out of local news. You know why? Because news won’t get much attention if they cover those stories.

Our country is so big that it makes it look like it happens more often than it really does.

That and news like to cherry pick what they want to cover.
