This is a pretty damning article. I’d be interested in hearing from education researchers how possible, or not possible, something like this could or could not happen in their field.

“guns were at the center of it all, replacing car crashes as the leading killer of kids. Gun deaths alone accounted for almost half of the increase in young people. They are now equivalent to 52 school buses of children crashing each year.”
