Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]” “There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]” Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it… Another picture from Kent State. But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters. Btw half of the students killed at Kent State weren’t even protesting, they were just there What in the absolute fuck When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but it’s suspiciously hard for Americans to learn about… I literally only know abt this bc my parents are hippies it’s fucked up I only had a vague idea of what this was and what happened until I did my own research on it. When I was 21. i never heard of this…… and i live in this country……… WTF Welcome to America. If you want to learn some actual history, then research it yourself History 101, day 1: forget everything you learned in high school and before because it’s wrong and skewed. This is why it’s important for education to extend beyond the walls of a public school. -- source link
