You didn’t disregard the race angle?

Not to downplay racism, but social mobility seems like a myth to me regardless.

Anyway, here’s a fun one.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. and perpetually moronic Rick Santorum said Sunday that students who have rallied for gun control should instead learn CPR or find their own way to prevent a school shooting.

“How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that,” the Republican said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The 2012 and 2016 presidential candidate said students could work to stop bullying in their communities or respond themselves to a shooter instead of asking lawmakers to approve legislation to protect them.

I may have added a bit of my own commentary at the beginning.
