Insanity. The kids are there because their parents want them educated.

@Philosopher (From Japan) .... Extremists don't want change. What they do want is control.

Police should never stop til they arrested them and present them in military court. Anything dealing with our children should be dealt in military court for faster justice.

Extremely heart wrenching & depressing news, showing the barbarous, savage and inhuman mindset of these terrorists, not even sparing these small children, in order to intimidate & spread panic among common people. On one side we have 2.3 million children who cannot attend school due to lack of resources & here the remaining whose parents paying high fees to private schools, are put to harm’s way due to these hired killers causing mayhem to these innocents. We need to take better safety measures including installation of CCTV cameras at all schools, which may help in apprehending these foreign funded homegrown terrorists. The govt. by using conventional methods should reach to these terrorists & their facilitators as soon as possible to remove anxiety & stressful situation for parents of other children. I, for one, offer my heartfelt sympathies to the parents of the injured students & pray for their fast physical recovery as well as overcoming trauma caused to them by this dastardly act

My heart is bleeding. Entire Pakistan must be de-weaponized. Make issuance of weapons the most impossible thing in Pakistan. Make our Children safe. Already the literacy rate is reduced to 58%. Crimes like these would make illetracy even more worse.
