Armored school doors. Bulletproof whiteboards. Secret snipers. Billions are being spent to protect children from school shootings. Does any of it work?

Why bulletproof whiteboards?Won't that increase the risk of injury if bullets ricochet off the board?

And a coward for a 'president'

''''buy a few minutes' ? Kids are not dumb. The danger needs to be farther away than the reach of the guns. The schools should no longer be the 'easy targets;'

The fact that we have “bullet proof” white board and “armored school doors” shows that we haven’t learned our lessons. Have some damn courage and rein in on the GUNS!

They aren’t shooting at blackboards or doors, they’re shooting children. Protect the children. GunReformNow controlyourguns canthandleyourtoys thenwetakethemaway GunSenseNow guncontrol

Wouldn’t it be great if we never know...

A couple of obvious solutions would seem to be: 1) sue the gun manufacturers and, 2) stop making and selling gunpowder.

I spent decades living and working on military bases, everyone on each military post knows (if you see something, say something). Usually, its current or former students that rebells out of anger. Schools should teach kids on how to report potential threats before they happen.

Billions being spent to protect children from school shootings might be a little misleading. These measures may help protect students during a shooting, but they do little to prevent such attacks. Armoured classrooms and armed guards assumes that mass shootings are inevitable.

The solution to almost, if not all, school shootings? Simple! Never, ever allow a democrat or liberal to buy a gun; they are mentally unstable and incapable of controlling themselves in public, & that’s without a gun! Proof? Just turn on cnn. They are literally nuts!!

A whole cottage industry of “school safety” has emerged. People are making fortunes playing on the very real fears of parents and district personnel.

Price paid for removing Bibles from schools. Sense of God is left solely to religion classes. Moral character is not taught. Authority is often not respected. Discipline for bad behavior is reduced if not eliminated. Teachers get attacked & violence invades. Why are we surprised?

How about gun reform Oops, no money to be made from that!! So the safety of our children is based on $$$ what else is new GunReformNow EnoughIsEnough ResistHate Resistance

Does any of it work? Only in the sense that it funnels $$ to businesses instead of education

This is dystopian delirious ideas. 🤦‍♂️ Just ban AR already.

Capitalism wins again!

This is the thriving business of campus safety, an industry fueled by an overwhelmingly American form of violence: school shootings
