You realize you're having a moral panic over the class that tells children to not play with firearms, right?
Directly quoted from the article
At Berclair Elementary School in Memphis, a class of 16 fifth graders were asked how many had seen a real gun. Nearly all raised their hands. While there is some controversy around guns, there doesn’t always have to be,” said Emily Buck, director of public relations for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, which created a curriculum with the state Department of Education. “I think that having some education and foundational knowledge really can be beneficial in the long run.”
Stop, don’t touch, leave quickly, tell an adult
I'm an anarchist, and I approve of these trainings. Gun safety should be taught to everyone, and reiterated every year. Too many children are around guns for it to be ignored. If people stop viewing guns as toys then maybe the gun violence will finally go down
