Addressing fire concerns and not any particular individuals:
Most folks lock their house doors at night, right? How does this protect you from fire in your sleep??? Why do you lock your house doors at all? (to prevent break-ins)
I would think that a locked door during the day when people are up and about is a much safer practice than at night when people are asleep and more likely not to notice smoke or fire.
Secondly, since kids getting shot and killed is a more likely prospect than having the school burn down all at once, locked doors are infinately more protective than unlocked doors.
But, to set the record strait, I personally am one of those parents who prefers homeschool over forced incarceration (disguised term being ‘compulsory education). BUT, most parents can’t be bothered with homeschool as they have more important things to do with their time, and some do have to put some bread and butter on the table.
However, I do sincerely commend the parents in the OP piece for taking a proactive stance on behalf of their children.

Where are kids shooting each other on school grounds?
In classrooms or hallways?
Will there be metal screening and x-rays at the entrance to each room? How do you know you’ll be keeping the shooters “out”? They are the only ones who show up late to class? Far from it, they are the ones who’ve taken the most PLANNING for what they are going to do at school that day.
