The School Shotings That Weren’t

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

“This spring the U.S. Education Department reported that in the 2015-2016 school year, "nearly 240 schools ... reported at least 1 incident involving a school-related shooting." The number is far higher than most other estimates.

 

But NPR reached out to every one of those schools repeatedly over the course of three months and found that more than two-thirds of these reported incidents never happened. Child Trends, a nonpartisan nonprofit research organization, assisted NPR in analyzing data from the government's Civil Rights Data Collection.

We were able to confirm just 11 reported incidents, either directly with schools or through media reports.”

I don’t understand why we should be skeptical of media reporting?

The left using made up data to push their agenda? Nothing new here. Just look at their phony man made global warming agenda for another example.

Not one single comment from anyone here who normally scream for gun control.  Just... crickets.  *smh*
