Fifty-one percent of all incidents of violence and threats against schools took place in just 10 states during the 2017-18 school year, a report released Monday finds.

California, Florida, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Illinois, North Carolina and Virginia, which are ranked the top 10 "states of concern," accounted for 1,851 threats and episodes of violence out of 3,654 nationwide, according to the Educator's School Safety Network.

--break for my commentary--

Might this have something to do with the fact those are 9 of the 10 largest dates in the Union (Virginia is 12th). The nine problem states make up 53.63% of the total population of the United States. Seems reasonable they would have 51% of the school violence.
