Terrorism doesn't produce reasonable reactions.

57 percent of American high school students surveyed are at least somewhat worried about a shooting at their school. This includes 64% of girls, 60% of black students, and 73% of Hispanic kids. Why do you imagine those last three groups are especially twitchy about it?

The same survey finds 63% of parents are concerned, and that concern is especially pronounced on the lower side of the economic spectrum. 83% (!!!!!!!!!) Of parents making less than $30,000/year are scared about their kids getting murdered at school. According to Google, the median individual income in the US is $31,099/year. Do the math on that one.
