School are funded at local, state, and federal level.Can't do that on the local level.
True, the private school would have to figure out a way to pay for it. But they figure out a way to pay for other things, so I’m sure this one is not beyond them.This is a private school.
I would guess/hope that in hindsight the school that had the shooting would wish that it had metal detectors and security guards. For once, let’s think ahead and not wait for tragedy.
As an aside, I'd say testing. Enough with making schools like prisons.
Are airports like Prisons? Courthouses? Police stations? Banks? Sports venues? Concerts?
Prisons have security to keep bad people in. Schools need security to keep bad people out. Or at least armed bad people.
I know, you are desperate for solution that takes away rights from the law abiding while leaving criminals unbothered. But when you also speak against measures, that would actually work, it weakens your case for that.
If it makes you feel better, just think of the metal detectors and security guards as making the school like a courthouse. I would think that several hundred students are worth at least a dozen judges, or do you disagree?
