Only problem with your solution is that classroom doors open OUT. It’s a fire code. In public places, doors must open out, so if people need to evacuate quickly they don’t get jammed up in doorways.

I believe we should build steel “domes”...maybe “spheres”...around each child...total protection.

I came up with this idea my self...will they now let me into the black caucus?

Ms. Jackson is only following her indoctrination from her formative years. She was born/reared in Queens, NY, graduated from Yale and got her JD from U of Virgina Law school. Married a Professor and moved to Houston for him to teach at the U of H law school.

Once they get seniority, and can feed the pork to constituents, and save their campaign war chest from one term to another it is almost impossible to get rid of them.

Very good observations re inexpensive but effective safety measures.

Pretty low tech to even bump the door braces down if a lock down alert is activated. Long bolts and riveted steel plates on the doors would slow most down enough to give the school militia time to box him in and cap his a$$. ;-)

I think she needs a metal plate in her head for protection.

They other day, the same kind of Democrat idiot in Houston, representatives of the ghetto, demanded his followers murder second amendment supporters because he was so enraged about the Conn. shooting.

We are talking seriously stupid and poisonous politicans representing the dredges of society in Texas.

though having someone there with the ability to defend could be worthwhile.

No doubt, but the key words in your sentence are "With The Ability".

Hell, 25 years ago my teachers were mostly a bunch of numbskulls. I'd not want them carrying anywhere NEAR me, for the most part. And I grew up out in the boondocks, where guns were more-or-less ubiquitous; people at least weren't scared to death of pictures of them.

I can't imagine that things have improved any. And in the more urban and suburban areas, where people are afraid of their shadow on a dark night, I'd imagine it's quite a bit worse.

IMHO, it's not a matter of passing out out a box of revolvers and saying "This is the dangerous end. Point it away from you and squeeze here." As you said "Ability" is the key. Taking up arms (and especially with defense as the intent) is a massive responsibility that takes training. And, once the "armed teachers" KNOW what they're doing, it takes discipline to keep their skills sharp.

IMHO, in this case, I don't think that there ARE any solutions. No good ones, anyway. Nope, what scares me is that pols will knee-jerk "DO SOMETHING" and really screw things up. As bad as the current situation is, it can certainly get worse.

he’ll even have time to stop in the cafeteria for a government-sanctioned snack before he liquidates the lunch ladies

Well, so long as it's nutritious and part of a well-balanced diet. Otherwise Moochelle will be on him like an Obama on a Burger.
