2. I've had the same thoughts. I've thought of the speakers we had at my fairly liberal college

And I've wondered if they'd be permitted today. Also, we had numerous students who came from other countries, both at my college and especially at my boarding school. I especially remember one guy from Ghana who was arguably the smartest guy in the school and an amazing soccer player - and very well liked. Would he be welcome today? And in today's dangerous political climate would students from other countries want to take the chance?

And I agree, it's scary as hell. I've been glad that I'm not in school right now given the dangers and the shooting drills - my cousin's daughter is still traumatized over those. And now we're facing another serious danger and, like you said, we don't know who will be targeted next.
