I don’t understand why so many people don’t understand that we quite literally cannot defend ourselves against attacks of this type. We can kill the terrs first, or we may be able to prevent them entering the country, but we cannot “defend” many thousands of schools against an attack.

That was exactly my point. The only way to stop an attack would be armed battalions in front of every school.

I spend most of my days at various elementary schools. I've thought about it. There is no practical solution.

I don’t get much of a chance to listen to Beck, but I did hear his radio show where he was discussing the TV specials.

One interesting thing he is going to cover is what to do in case of an attack. He mentioned on the radio if you hear your kid’s school is under attack, do what the authorities tell you and don’t go to the school as there is some thought that the groups gathered outside would also be targeted.

But on the other hand, in the way of knowledge being akin to preparation, he mentioned if you hear of an attack on a school in one part of the country, don’t assume it will be an isolated event...go to your school immediately and check out your child because you wouldn’t know if your school was on the “list” to be attacked (just as on 911, it took 2, then 3, then 4 planes before some folks were willing to believe it was a terrorist attack.) I totally agree with this, it might seem reactionary, but if you have the knowledge ahead of time, why not. It would disrupt the school in the short term but may save you grief in the long term.
