Here's a little-known fact: the worst school-based mass murder in the US took place in 1927, perpetrated in Michgan by Andrew Phillip Kehoe. A school board member, he was apparently upset about a tax levy for the school that he blew up. He also killed his wife, burned down his farm, and ultimately blew himself up in a shrapnel-filled car as rescuers gathered at the site of the school explosion, killing several additional people.
The next time one of your right wing friends or family members starts talking about taxes or some similar BS, point out to them the direct connection between American anti-tax zealots and the modern-day suicide bombers that most of them consider to be evil terrorists.
