Gawdamn, this makes me mad/sad

To be sung to the tune of "Twinkle , twinkle little Star"

Lockdown, lockdown
Lock the door

Shut the lights off
Say no more

Go behind the desk and hide
Wait until it’s safe inside

Lockdown, lockdown
It’s all done

Now it’s time to have some fun


A US mother has shared a confronting image from her daughter’s prospective kindergarten classroom, showing the instructions for a lockdown drill put to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Georgy Cohen, a Boston creative director, shared the image on Twitter this morning. It shows a multi-coloured lyric poster outlining the drill protocol:

The palpable sense of loss of innocence in the comments sections of how other mothers and their children had to go thru survival drills in their schools is sad to read.

1. That is so wrong on so many levels

How can you take a sweet beautiful song that probably played on their stuffed animals when they were tiny babes and make it so scary. How can violence be more important than our children.

2. This millennia's "Ring Around the Rosy"

Humankind has progressed not at all....

3. I can remember

drills for nuclear attacks. We had to hide under our desk

There's always a daemon of some sort

4. Fear is what they want to spread

5. Generally speaking I am not for Mass murder

but I will make an Exception for NRA executive committee and gun lobbyists

They are terrorists plain and simple

6. I understand but it is better to have a plan

I was a bit shocked when our little one started doing these drills in kindergarten but I thought about it and it's better that they have some sort of plan. It's a sad reflection that they have to but it's better that they do.

7. When you go home, ask Daddy why he has so many guns after all this?
