should children start active shooter training drills in the USA ?

How many times a year and what would that program look like? If you are against active shooter drills but for tornado or fire drills why one and not the other?

Of course. We are going to not educate children about how to keep them safe in event of a commonly occuring serious threat because...what reason?

People feel more confident when they are educated in how to handle various situations. If we did not hold fire drills for example. Because fires are "too scary" and we wanted to "shelter" kids from them. Think how much more terrified everyone would be and chaotic things would be at schools every single time the fire alarm went off. Instead...everyone knows to just line up and walk out.

@Ananke Children should be educated in this basically immediately upon entering the school system bc...school shootings can occur that early. Sandy hook....

@Ananke good point about sandy hook and when it should be introduced. hard to argeu with that incident as evidence that elementary is a good starting point.
