What Caused Columbine?

What Caused Columbine?


Tara was subsequently interviewed for an ABC-TV 20/20 program (aired Sept. 21, 1990) where she said, "I had thought about [suicide] as a possible option for a lot of years, but I never would have gone through with it, never, because I wasn't brave enough. The things that we learned in the class taught us how to be brave enough to face death." She added, "We talked about what we wanted to look like in our caskets."

The 20/20 segment showed morbid visuals of student visits to cemeteries, to embalming labs where they were encouraged to touch "still warm human remains," and to crematoriums where they were told about picking bones out of the ashes. ABC stated that one out of ten schools teaches death education, that there is no approved curriculum, and that the teachers' training often consists only of a one-day workshop. It was clear that ABC's Hugh Downs and Tom Jarriel thought that death education was bizarre. Jarriel concluded the segment by asking if these courses "suggest death as an answer to adolescent problems." We urge ABC to re-air that important segment because of its relevance today. Curiously, ABC refused to release a tape of this program to Matt Drudge.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- AND ABC'S 20/20 WILL NEVER SHOW THIS VIDEO BECAUSE AS HUGH DOWNS PUT IT, THIS TEACHING IS "OVERLY MORBID".
I've been talking lately to a source close to the production, 20/20, Death in the Classroom. She wanted to revisit what was done 9 years earlier... And try as as she did back in 1999 when the Columbine shooting happened the story would not be explored.
She believed that the possibility of discovery would reveal the horror we now believe is the cause... Death in the Classroom.
Culture Shock has the video ... Developing.
