As important as STEM courses are in today’s world, studies in what would have been called ethics or social studies, or morals might have kept the young person from using a modern weapon to execute the five women in a bank. Certainly STEM classes didn’t. And certainly his right to own that gun is far more important than their or anyone’s life, as the legislators and judges tell us. We legislate much better protection for ducks than we do for people.
