    It seems like this is what the Republicans who keep saying we need to “harden our schools” want.https://twitter.com/aterkel/status/997558206921617410 …

    At some point, will kids be amazed that we once walked into schools without first going through a medical detector? Like how it now seems amazing that we once could walk up to the gate at the airport without a ticket?

        I’m only 56 and I can clearly remember when there weren’t even metal detectors. In the early 70s, worldwide, there was an average of one plane hijacked every week.

        Perhaps we should make it mandatory that every person in public office, from the President on down, MUST send their children to the same public schools that our children attend. Maybe then changes would occur

        It’s absolutely what they want. It’s another source of revenue for their business buddies: school hardening contracts.

        They want the private prison industry to get contracts so, I’m thinking that’s a bit naive. They want prisons.

        And of course having to walk through a metal detector before entering a school is a sign of a "bad" school in many circles
