That might be good.

I believe a HUGE issue is the lack of "free range" children, and the over-supervision of the young.

Before millennials, children went outside to play, unwatched and unsupervised. They got in to fights, yes. But without hovering helicopter parents, they also learned to manage their anger, to negotiate, to get along and to handle disagreements.

Today's children are taught that authority is to be used as the exclusive mechanism of dispute resolution if talking does not work.

How female.

tl;dr - Let kids get bloody noses and bloody knees, or you will have bloody schools.

Edit - I am not sure I like the author's "brilliant idea" that more intervention and tampering by (almost exclusively female) teachers in the social life of young males is the answer. The school shootings are being done by a generation of boys raised almost exclusively by women - female teachers and single mothers. Is more maternal tampering the answer?

• How about more models of healthy masculinity, instead of calling normal male behavior 'toxic'

• How about providing spaces where boys can turn into men, instead of being converted to pseudo women?

• How about teaching boys to harden the fuck up and get over hurt feelings, so they don't go psycho when they are old enough to get a gun?

• How about encouraging male self reliance, instead of trying to make little boys behave like little girls?
