Corey Booker said today that considering the idea of 'hardening' schools was surrendering to impotence.
Booker, like many anti-2nd Amendment would-be liberal gun grabbers. believes any idea except stripping Americans of their right to bear arms is to be mocked and rejected.
This only shows that he and other Democrats really don't give a damn about protecting our children and are only interested in disarming law-abiding citizens. If they truly cared about protecting our kids all options would be on the table and they would be willing to do anything to protect them.
While Democtats did not even wait for the bodies to get cold or until families had time to grieve, serious people came up with serious ideas on how to better protect out children.
Tx AG Ken Paxton and Parkland Father Andrew Pollack, whose daughter was killed in the Parkland, FL school shooting, 'issued a plea for enhanced security measures and funding at schools across the country'.
Their ideas on how to better protect our children at school were spot-on.
1. Armed Guards, Single Point of Entry
Schools should have a single point of entry with metal detectors and an armed guard station.
(- If you want to make entry into schools even more secure have a 'man-trap' at the entrance. Kids who attend school show an ID to get through rhe 1st door and into a room with another secured door giving final access into the school. In this room metal detectors scan for weapons prior to the students being allowed through the next door and into the school. This would probably be viewed as excessive ... unless perhaps in violent areas like in Chicago.)
2. More secure classrooms, emergency exits
Reinforced, securable doors teachers can lock if gunshots are heard, ground floor windows that can be popped out to give kids a quick escape route.
3. Teacher Training, Advance planning
We pretty much know what happens in these attacks so all schools should have a plan - this latest school had one but when the chaos starts panic takes over. Teachers should be given training so they know the plan well enough where executing it is second nature.
Other ideas include:
Cameras throughout the school monitored by the police or security.
Intercoms in the classrooms to give teachers alerts, status updates, and / or directions.
Thorough background checks, training, and allowing teachers to conceal carry or have guns locked up in the classroom has been suggested.
If protecting our children is the top priority rather than simply taking the right to bear arms away from law-abiding citizens then every serious idea should be considered, not mocked / rejected like Corey Booker did.
I also agree with the comment about how if we can send $40 billion dollars to Ukraine, if Democrats can use millions of dollars of COVID Relief funds to spend on a library or pet project that helps them politically then we can afford to spend money on upgrading rhe security at our children's schools and on doing more to protect them.
