Obama’s kids should be going to school in Kenya that’s all I’m saying.
This pages just lists 17 officers that work (at least part time) there. No detail on what they carry though.
SS agents are armed and provide protection for Obama’s alleged daughters > Obama’s alleged daughters attend Sidwell Friends > Sidewell Friends has armed guards
Does Obama’s kids go to a school with armed security guards. Yes. By definition when Obama’s children are there they have secret service guards on duty. We provide that service to the president. Does the school hire armed guards? We don’t know, but there is 11 or so men hired not for their good looks for some reason. If they aren’t armed, you can bet they know how to be armed pretty damn fast.
Then there is this statement:
Ellis Turner, associate head of Sidwell Friends, told us emphatically: Sidwell Friends security officers do not carry guns.

However, that does not say there are no armed guards, for example maybe Sidwell contracts for armed security.
To my knowledge, whenever Secret Service agents are actively safeguarding the lives of persons assigned to, they are armed. Those assigned to guard the President's daughters at Sidwell Friends are armed. So while Sidwell may not have armed guards, armed guards are present when the offspring of a President attend any scholl.
Of COURSE they do!!! Secret Service is there for sure.
You will never get a straight answer from anyone, or any entity, in DC. If the question is not framed with specificity, there will be spin to frame an answer accordingly.
No, but they are always within reach of staplers, hole punches, and other items that can be thrown at an assailant.
Sidwell certainly has armed Secret Service guardw, at least while the royal children are there and surely 24-7 to guard against furtive bomb planting and such.
Who knows?
Someone call Josh.
He'll earnestly explain the whole situation to us poor dummies.
Of course there are armed "guards" at the school.
That's the school the obama offspring attends, correct?
However, to call the USSS Protection Detail "guards" would be wrong and demeaning to a very well-trained and professional bunch of men and women.
I don't care who the prez is (well, I do, I wish it was anybody but obi), if they have family members that are subject to kidnap or mayhem, with an aim of influencing the actions of the prez, then, yes...I want them protected.
Why would anybody in their right mind in this day and age wish it to be otherwise?
I hate the SOB and can't wait for him to be gone and to take his spawn with him...but until then, because of his position and ability to influence things in a bad way, I want them all protected.
Just a sign of the times we live in.
0bama should pull out his pen and scibble down the following EO.
All guns, found within the perimeter fence surrounding the White House, SHALL BE replaced with pointy twigs
With the USSS and private bodyguards, there’s no need for security.
I really don’t understand why so many Americans are opposed to having armed guards protect your children in schools when so many of them are getting killed by lunatics.
I attended Aquinas School in San Juan (part of Metro Manila). Our school had high walls surrounding it and armed guards at all entrances. No one could enter without having a proper reason and all bags and lunch boxes were inspected.
No one complained since we all knew they were a necessity given the crimes in the country.
Why is it then ok for only the rich and powerful Americans to have armed guards protecting their children and not for the average person? One rule for the elite and another for everybody else?
Good question
