Now, let’s get again to the principle focus of this episode: Markie’s sick timing gun membership. Critically, Markie? Within the sort of world we dwell in now? This is what you suppose the kids want? Evan walks into the college and all of a sudden gunshots ring out. He rapidly geese right into a classroom and tells the scholars to get down and he appears to be the one one dropping his thoughts over this. The scholars have a look at him like he’s insane and he’s confused at their response till they inform him that it isn’t a faculty capturing, it’s simply Markie’s gun membership.
Evan brings up his issues on the college assembly and insists that this membership will get shut down. Markie argues that it’s a “firearms security program” and the final time it was shut down was in the course of the “darkish days of ‘99” (I’ll allow you to try this analysis by yourself with which darkish days he’s referring to right here) and that he isn’t going to permit the membership to get shut down. Markie isn’t essentially doing something legally mistaken and it’s (shockingly) faculty board accredited (huh?) so the membership is allowed to proceed on.

The scholars have conflicting views on the matter: they don’t care as a result of they’ve turn out to be used to drills making ready them for a faculty capturing (and that’s unhappy, however this scene doesn’t make it appear that unhappy which I appreciated). Evan turns into upset at this and says that they should do one thing about it. In a really fascinating flip of occasions, Evan and a few college students protest the gun membership. Markie caught wind of this and he and another college students protested… the protest.
It seemed like issues have been about to go down in that hallway earlier than Principal Moretti stepped in. Whereas within the Principal’s workplace, Evan learns that the one method the gun membership might get shut down is that if there’s an lively menace obtained by the college. With this data, Evan has the concept to provide his college students a artistic writing task with the immediate of “when you might get away with any heinous act, what would you do?” Now, sir…you KNOW precisely what you’re doing with this one. He’s hoping that certainly one of these tales will probably be adequate to make use of to close down the gun membership.

His plan labored; with an “lively menace” in place, Principal Moretti requires the top of the gun membership. Evan seemingly believes he’s gained this battle nevertheless it seems, as an alternative of the scholars being those with the weapons, academics will now be required to be firearm skilled and this coaching will probably be held by … you guessed it, Markie.
Admittedly, this episode wasn’t the very best, in my view, given the intense material. I’ll say the comedic accuracy of how I think about gun conversations taking place in faculties with youngsters made it an pleasurable watch.
