        it gives a reason for the first sentence. ‘The sky is blue. Blue light gets scattered more than other colors.’ Same idea, only the guy stated it in a very terse way so I can see how it would not be easy to follow the logic implied therein.

            OP asks how to explain to kids about terrorism:

            How do you go about explaining terrorism and evil to young kids without storybooking it?

            Guy says kids don’t need to have terrorism explained to them:

            Bro kids today are fully aware about terrorism

            Guy provides a reason why kids don’t need to have terrorism explained: they already learn about it in the form of school shooters, who are terrorists:

            School shooters are … terrorists

            Guy makes an assertion in the middle of the previous sentence that doesn’t really have much to do with it:

            mainly right wing

            Whether or not that part is true has no bearing on the rest of it. But what his second sentence had to do with the question in that it provided context/an example showing how kids already learn about terrorism.

        • Question is about explaining terrorism to kids.

        • Kids go to school.

        • School shooters famously also target schools.

        • Kids are aware of terrorism due to the constant threat of a school shooting.

            I don’t know what to tell you. When it comes to school shootings, it’s politics all the way down. There’s a reason that the US is the only developed country selling bullet-proof gear in the back-to-school section.
