Lockdown, lockdown, lock the door. Shut the lights off, say no more
From Harper's Magazine.
A Massachusetts kindergarten teacher rewrote "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" with the lyrics "Lockdown, lockdown, lock the door. Shut the lights off, say no more" as part of a drill for school shootings. A two-year-old boy died after being shot by his 13-year-old brother in Ohio; a four-year-old boy was shot in South Carolina after playing with a gun he found under a mattress; a 10-year-old boy was shot while playing in his yard in Mississippi; a two-year-old boy was shot in the head and a nine-year-old boy was shot in the stomach while shooting targets in Tennessee; a four-year-old boy was shot at a gas station in Missouri; a five-year-old boy was shot while sitting on a porch in Louisiana; a five-year-old boy was shot in Pennsylvania; a six-year-old boy in Kentucky died when a gun he was playing with went off; a 12-year-old girl died after being shot by two teenagers in Georgia; five-year-old boy was shot by his eight-year-old brother and seven people were shot at a child's birthday party in Illinois; and a ten-year-old boy was shot in the head at a birthday party in Virginia. NRA Family, the National Rifle Association's website "for families and beginning shooters of all ages," posted a "Fun Friday Quiz" titled "Which Rifle Are You?"
