So some unnatural carnal knowledgeing idiots on tik tok have issued a challenge for violence at schools tomorrow, like serious violence. I don't know if any of this is credible or what, but just wanted to give a heads up to anyone here that has kids in school. Its a nationwide deal apparently.
This world is ridiculous.

I'm not allowed within 500 ft of schools, so I should be good.

Me either, but that's because I open carry an AR everywhere I go these days. Never know when someone will try to take it from you.
This is America.
Sounds like law enforcement is declaring it a hoax. Hopefully they are correct
This absolutely screams moral panic. Color me skeptical.
I bet this takes it's place alongside razor blades in candy, rainbow parties, and marijuana candies being given out at halloween.
Tik tok is awful and should be shut down. The stupid $hit kids have been doing in the name of tik tok challenges is ridiculous. And this is coming from someone who isn't even old enough to become president.

I to am not old enough to become president and think Tik Tok is the worst.
My fiancés school sent out a letter to parents and teachers. Any kid who doesn't want to come tomorrow is given an excused elearn day. Virtual school was truly a game changer to make things like this happen.

Sure, but you don't get second chances if you guess wrong.
My kids are just reaching school age and I think about this all the time. They will have a very different school experience than I did.

While I agree, I also didn't think kids would start ripping doors off stalls, soap dispensers, towel dispensers, sinks, etc just for a tik tok challenge so while it might not be a big cross country adolescent version of the Purge, it only takes one kid to take this too serious for it to be too many.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm 45 and have never been on TikTok, nor do I ever plan to.

How many well adjusted adults do you know that were home schooled?
The world is a scary place sometimes, and that's okay to find out before you're 18.

What if my kid gets taught CRT?

Bingo. Private school or homeschool. Things have changed sadly. That's ok, just have to adjust. It's up to the parents, nobody else.

I'm pretty sure they're already teaching my kid CRT and I told my wife we need to consider home teaching.

Alternatively the parents can just explain to the kids what is really going on but I think some are too young. Bad situation. I realize not everyone can homeschool or private school. In that case they should start voting with their wallets. An earthquake is coming. People get what they deserve good and hard, as the saying goes.

My wife and I, as well as all of my kids, went to public schools and are just fine. Blaming the public schools for this is nonsensical.

The high school my wife teaches at had a bathroom attacked when this was going on.
The one my fiancé works at had their bathroom privileges revoked. Apparently they still have to call security to escort them each time. Thats the practice in MPS, but it was a first for this blue collar near Chicago suburb kids couldn't grasp the "hey don't be an idiot and you keep your bathroom" concept when they'd complain.

Just like an SUV has to be registered, a gun should be registered as well. What is done with either of them after that point is the fault of the user.
I don't think an app on a phone rises to the same level, but I guess I understand how simplistic thinking gets you there.

The only way Tik Tok could get more dangerous is if Tik-Tokkers are doing their Tik-Tokking on the most dangerous place on Earth -- the neighborhood surrounding the Marquette campus.
That would be hard core.

So I was in hiding for fear of today's tiktok purge. Only emerging from the underground shelter long enough to post. What remains of our civilization after the Great TikTok Chaos? Are any school children left alive? Dare I linger topside or will a band of preteens do a weird dance to distract me before murdering my family?
What remains of the world I once knew?
