A new Texas bill for that state’s 88th — working title is, “An Act Relating to the Regulation of Bleeding Control Stations in Public Schools” — requires “bleeding control stations” where school personnel and volunteers are trained are annually offered”
instruction on the use of a bleeding control station from a school resource officer or other appropriate district or school personnel who has received the training under Subdivision (3) to students enrolled at the campus in grade three [
seven] or higher.
The emphasis is mine.
The stations, according to the bill, would require:
(1) tourniquets approved for use in battlefield trauma care by the armed forces of the United States;
(2) chest seals;
(3) compression bandages;
(4) bleeding control bandages;
(5) space emergency blankets;
(6) latex-free gloves;
(7) markers;
(8) scissors; [
and](9) instructional documents developed by the American College of Surgeons or the United States Department of Homeland Security detailing methods to prevent blood loss following a traumatic event; and
(10) emergency alerting devices.
This is the result of legislators who value weaponry over people, and who after every mass shooting, make it easier to get a gun. This isn’t harm reduction. This is insanity.
Everyone? This was just shared with me, commentary on this ridiculous bill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=d_Px833tzfs
Well, let’s go further and make sure all students from kindergarten on up know how to stop the bleed and apply a tourniquet. Teach them how to dig out the bullets. Show them gory movies so they won’t be so traumatized when a psycho comes into the school to gun them all down. Preparation, preparation, preparation…
