I understand your point, but conservatives are saying (correctly) the exact same thing about liberals. I guess we're all being played.

So you deny that liberals in the government and media are using fear to motivate people? I refuse to believe you are that brainwashed.

are you just stupid or what? the RELEASE is in 2018 for the data collected in 2016/17

The data was actually collected from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018 for the School Year 2015-16 as this note in the NPR story makes clear:

"The CRDC accepts correction requests for up to one year from the moment the submission period opens. For the 2015-16 collection, the corrections period closed on June 30, 2018, and for this reason your data correction request cannot be accepted.

https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent

So this was a ludicrous error by DeVos' Education Department which was not checked. It seems most likely that most of the reports were simply mistakes caused largely by the fact that it was a new question. As NPR points out:

Another reason the shooting data may show these kinds of problems, Temkin adds, is that the item is so new. "Because this was the first year this was asked of all schools, they may not have been as prepared to respond to this item."

And there's another factor at work as well: the law of really, really big numbers. Temkin notes that "240 schools is less than half of 1 percent," of the schools in the survey. "It's in the margin of error."

And you think they do?

If you watch Fox News, you may be brainwashed.

Here's your sign.

But Trump said he only appoints the "best people".

It looks like the secret of the Trump Swamp is finally getting out.

Can we trust ANYone this man-child points his plastic finger at?

You really are functionally illiterate. The data was collected during Trump's Presidency and the question was a new one on the form added during DeVos' tenure as Department of Education Secretary. Perhaps it was not corrected to help her harebrained scheme to arm teachers.

It was "collected" by sending a form to school districts and requiring them to return it to DOE. The form was prepared and the question added to it under DeVos and the school districts submitted the form in 2017-18.

Like I said, functionally illiterate.

Do you think an event in the past "hasn't happened yet" until someone asks about it in the present?
