It wasn't the killing that ignited the anger. Journalists keep getting that wrong.

Yes.

We don't need even more antivax idiots due to a complete lack of biology being taught in schools.

Instead of broken windows needing replacement, we have broken CEOs needing protection. Causing destruction as a way to "spur the economy" isn't really a productive thing.

No, this is effectively the Broken Window Fallacy - a debunked theory where it proposed that breaking windows (or similar) stimulates the economy because it would cause people to buy new windows and pay for the installation. But it doesn't work like that. It's just a drain on the local economy.

School systems set the path, and it's pretty standardized when these subjects get taught. They wait until kids get more math skills for physics classes to take place, meaning the less math heavy subjects go first, like bio and earth science.

Unless you take AP, where they wouldn't be harping on this particular line about mitochondria, yes. One year of bio.

I understood the point, I agree with that. I wasn't commenting on that part

Bio is like a freshman/sophomore course. If you're taking it senior year, you're already behind in life

This is what used to be taught in home economics class. Now it's just sewing and baking.

Knowing math isn't always enough to navigate the oft poorly written tax forms.

"wanting to be considered people and not hidden away" is apparently too much for some people

Most people, when speaking about a gaming device, aren't talking about the ability to play things from 40 years ago that you could run on a smart toaster
