No, either I didn't communicate as well as I could have or you misunderstood me.

I never said there were no mass shootings until the FBI started monitoring threats to local school boards. Please don't put words in my mouth.

I never mentioned Jan 6th, so why bring it up unless you want to politicize this?

When it comes to safety of children, we need to consider what actually works regardless of the politics, and I think Israel makes a good case study.

Re. your point - Were there actual threats made to school board members? What about the threats made to Supreme Court justices and their children.

Unlike many people, I am not OK with threatening either, but as far as I could tell from the videos I've seen and the articles I've read, there were no doxxing of school board members or actual physical threats made. If you have data that provdes that parents were actually making physical threats or orgnizing such, please let me know and I'll be happy to condemn it.

Unlike some people (not sure if you are one of these since I don't know you) I am against physical violene against anyone - regardless of race, gender, sexual orieintation, religion, or political affiliation. If you are OK with threats and violence against certain groups but not against others - the YOU are the problem. If, like me, you stand against violence - then we are in agreement.
