The new ROE from the Gay Pentagon.
If children need help on learning to be a coward, they need only look at obozo.
Standard federal guidance. Exactly the same training given federal employees.
Alabama passed a law allowing employees to have a gun in their cars on their employers parking lot. The feds sent out an email reminding federal employees in Alabama that the law did not affect federal property. Have a gun in your locked car on federal property and go to jail was the message.
“Don’t shoot! I have writing implements! Don’t make me get sharpie on your shirt!”
I tell my kids to run and keep running. Why hide? Its not an Easter egg hunt.
Adam Lanza Wannabes everywhere applaud this hard-hitting decision.
Next they will tell the “edukators” to lock all doors and windows so the children can be more easily shot. I am only being half-sarcastic.
However, a BETTER plan is to have someone around who is armed and can handle the sitation, so that we don't *get* to the "run and hide" stage.
And, in reality, just having someone around and alert will likely prevent the entire situation from happening to begin with. "Don't start nothing, won't be nothing." approximately.
As if teachers and students didn't try to do what comes naturally to protect themselves in previous school shootings.
Sounds like a metaphor for his whole administration.
After Beslan, I told my children to move away from any sounds of attack and keep going, head for the woods. Forget lockdown and cower - that was only so there was a policy in place, any policy. And so the police could make EVERYONE leave the building with their hands up. And God forbid there was a drill and some children played hooky or got lost or hit a cop with a chair.
If they can’t move away from the sound of attack, then hide and be ready to fight.
If someone is coming in where they are, then fight.
The administration has finally come around to a sensible position. The only criticism I have is that common sense took ten years.
For the students and most teachers, I agree with that plan if it can be done in a quick and organized manner, and if you're sure you are running away from the shooter.
But at the same time the students are running to safety, armed employees should be advancing toward the shooter so that he can't go in that direction too.
There's no real security plan without guns.
That was their strategy for our personnel in Benghazi. At least they're being consistent.
Come to think of it, the strategy in Benghazi was more like "you're dead, we'll take care of the cover-up from this end."
Stupid advice from fascists who will gladly sacrifice teachers and kids on the altar of Gun Control.
However, most teachers and kids would not be able to confront an armed shooter.
But an armed police officer would! and the gun control bastards are violently opposed to that too!
I hate the lock down mentality, just as much as zero tolerance.
Amen. I believe each school’s Principal is responsible for security, and he/she should have a plan for staff to defend students from harm. I’d be glad to see my tax dollars go to a gun lockbox in a few staff members desks...
There’s also volunteer help available to help defend schools, my kids elementary school uses the D.O.G.S. program (Dads of Great Students). The program has Dads volunteering to be at school during the day, keeping an eye on the kids, walking the school grounds, etc.
