Blogger Suspended from Medium After Pro-Second Amendment Post

In the blog post, titled “Guns Don’t Kill People, School Psychologists Do” Kantbot argues that the over-diagnosis and pathologizing of high school kids, particularly male high school kids, played a major role in the sense of social exclusion that the author argues contributes to school shootings:

75% of school psychologists are women, with an average age of 46. It is this same group of people most empowered to conduct psychological monitoring of children across the country, and over the last 30 years, they have come to classify a larger and larger percentage of young boys as having developmental issues, to the point where it’s not clear whether there is anything wrong with these children at all, or if school psychologists have simply written off a wider and wider range of behaviors which they find problematic or incomprehensible as constituting autism.
