The money would be better spent on getting the students and their families the mental, educational and financial support needed for everyone's well being. It may not stop shooters, cause shooters are gonna shoot - like it or not, they will just move to sporting events or similar. In Texas, Friday High School football games regularly have 5-10k+ people attending regular season games - more on rivals and playoffs. School door locks and cameras aren't going to help them there. And, if they can't get guns legally, they can get them from Mexico smugglers, gangs, etc. It's not terribly difficult Reminds me of a time in middle school, before all this school shooter nonsense; a friends father was moving his kids to private school and when I asked why, I was told he wanted them in a safer (richer) school. I was confused and replied that our school was safe, "we have full time cops at the school" - his reply was, "exactly, the point is that there shouldn't be". It was profound for me at the time, and thinking about it - it was normal to look out the class window and see cop cars and k-9s and hear stories about drugs and weapons being found. Classrooms were packed and teachers still didn't get much support from the district. |
