    Nothing’s wrong with it. If that’s a good source, it’s a good source. They said the GVA source was a bad one, so I asked for a better one and got a bunch of lies about myself in return from them.

      I misunderstood, it read in the conversation like you were rejecting NPR saying the actual numbers were pretty hard to confirm (which does make sense, what school official is going to want to talk to the press about violence that happened in their school?), and I couldn’t figure out why 😅 Thanks for clarifying that!
