TikTok Kids Should Go Back to School (and Do Shooter Drills)

Tim argues TikTok fame has dragged on too long for aging influencers, then launches into a dark bit insisting kids need to be back in physical school specifically to practice active shooter drills, since that can't be replicated on Zoom.
- TikTok stars in their mid-20s now look exhausted and stretched out, like they're dealing with actual problems rather than performing for fun.
- Tim calls for shutting down TikTok entirely and sending kids back to school—masked up and doing live shooter drills.
- Parents want their kids in school with friends, but won't acknowledge those friends will be doing active shooter drills as part of the curriculum.
- Kids are missing out on the formative experience of learning to survive a violent attack by an unmedicated, heavily armed classmate.
- If Parkland had been on Zoom, those students would never have developed the bonds forged by surviving a school shooting together.
- Parents need to advocate for in-person learning so children can practice defending themselves from their peers—whom society has driven insane with fast food, no attention, and violent entertainment.
- Tim feels reassured as a parent knowing his children are in school safely learning to handle active shooter situations that society has made inevitable.
- Two 13 and 14-year-olds in a Florida middle school near Parkland were planning a Columbine-inspired massacre, raising questions about what's happening to society.
