I’ve never seen rows of backpacks at a funeral. It’s one thing to give money but another to thoughtfully pick out school supplies you hope a child cherishes like your friend would have loved to see
The thing is that school supplies shouldn't be a thing people need donated.
Schools should be adequately funded so that every kid has all the materials they need to succeed, and teachers shouldn't have to spend a penny of their own money on supplies for the classroom.
America spends close to a trillion dollars on bombs and drones to drop those bombs on hospitals in Gaza, while cheering on the dismantling of the department of education for being wasteful.

I am elderly and English and I can remember when I went to school everything was provided - pens paper, books, everything.
But did she died doing what she loved? Ya know: schoolshooting?
Cool. I'm just gonna stare disconsolately into the middle distance for a bit for unrelated reasons.
Still a bunch of flowers smh
Those would be the flowers that the church had for the week, and not for the funeral.
