An Ugly Trend

Today's universe is unsympathetic to school children, it seems. In New Zealand, six teenagers and their teacher have died on a canoeing expedition as the result of an inexplicable flash flood; eighteen Ugandan girls between nine and twelve have burned to death in their school dormitory, along with one adult; and in India, at least 44 school children died when their bus drove off a bridge and into a canal, with another 20 passengers still unaccounted for.

There's no greater point to make. It's just an ugly trend.
