Wise. My daughter is all grown up (and a reporter!) but I cannot imagine what living through this with late elementary or middle school students must be like. Number 10 and 11 particularly resonate.

I also like to reflect on times in the distant past when things were so much worse. For example the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, part of the French Wars of Religion between Catholics and Protestants. While not technically political violence, it was sparked by a political marriage, with citizens turning on each other and a death toll of between 2,000 - 20,000 or more depending on what sources you look at. We've come a long way since then, actually.
