You missed the point(s)
1. The point about Adam Lanza is that the schools themselves are not the necessary correlative. Actually? Why don't you tell me the Religion of some of the 200 shooters - maybe there's a common Religion...maybe there's no Religions...maybe we should take the 200, and whatever Religion that NONE of them are....we should all convert, because this is how poor inferences work.
2. There aren't that many kids in catholic schools, per capita. It's like 5%, and that's starting with the fact that only 0.004% of schools have shooters. That means you'd expect to finally see a school shooter in a catholic school zero times.
3. In virtue of which specific teaching do you want to separate catholic from christian from baptist, etc. to eliminate the point that fuggin jesus worshipping churches have had shootings? What teaching....specifically....
4. Again, you'd EXPECT zero, since shootings themselves are already a statistical anomaly, and you're talking about schools a very small minority of children even attend.
1. Look at the very long history of school shootings.
List of school shootings in the United States - Wikipedia
I don't want to go thru the list to see if any were in Catholic schools, but if any were, they are rare. The common thread if any, is mental illness. How can we test for mental illness? Prior shootings had many causes/triggers, but most were at the teacher. Was discipline a trigger? Was religion a stopper? You obviously can't accept the fact that ZERO shooters in Catholic schools is statistically significant.
2. Maybe its not the school or religion but their attitude to discipline or mental illness. https://www.quora.com/How-many-high-schools-are-there-in-the-US
"How many high schools are there in the
US? According to the Digest of Education Statistics, 2001, (Table 89). In the
United States, there are about 26,407
public secondary schools, and 10,693
private secondary schools."
That's 29% private HS, not "like 5%" (10,693/37,000)
If a disciplinarian beats the crap out of a kid for cause, then that kid has a choice, he can accept the discipline and improve or get a gun. The snowflakes being produced by today's public schools all too often grab a gun, why?
3. Keep the discussion on "private schools" where any religion can be taught, but 53% are Catholic, so a majority. Does teaching morality or religion matter?
4. You keep hiding behind the "statistical anomaly" argument instead of answering the question, why are school shootings at public schools and none at Catholic/private schools? What is the reason? Do the 200 shootings x 29% percent of private schools or 58 at private schools "by statistics" matter? That's 58 school shootings that did not happen. Why?
The math went over your head, is the thing.
Only 10% of all k-12 students attend private schools. Not sure where the **** youre getting your numbers, or if you're visiting some quirky website that's including tuition-based Colleges or something...but it's certainly speshulll math. 5% of them are Catholic schools.
The point in bringing up that it's a statistical anomaly, is because shootings (lets use 200 shootings since 2000, so over 19years) occuring at a school (using 38,000 which is a low-ball estimate to keep it simple for you)...Is 10.5 shootings per year since 2000...
Using the 19-year average(10.5/yr), that means that there's a 300ths, of ONE-percent chance...that 1 of the 38, 000 schools per year has a shooter.
5% of 300ths of one percent is the chances that its a catholic school. so in 200 shootings, by probability ALONE, youd expect to see ZERO of them at the catholic schools
And you're alluding to....by some awesome mathematical genius that nobody else is privy to...the fact that its IN VIRTUE of them being catholic schools.....
when the math alone put their probability at statistical ZERO of having one of the shootings in any given year.
You're making a bad inference, and you're also starting with false statistics, to boot.
