School Obama's Daughters Attend Has 11 Armed Guards

Breitbart ^ | 12/24/12 | AWR Hawkins

[Nachum]

Some interesting news has broken in the wake of the latest push for gun control by President Obama and Senate Democrats: Obama sends his kids to a school where armed guards are used as a matter of fact.

The school, Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC, has 11 security officers and is seeking to hire a new police officer as we speak.

If you dismiss this by saying, "Of course they have armed guards -- they get Secret Service protection," then you've missed the larger point.

The larger point is that this is standard operating procedure for the school, period. And this is the reason people like NBC's David Gregory send their kids to Sidwell, they know their kids will be protected from the carnage that befell kids at a school where armed guards weren't used (and weren't even allowed).

Guns are just a smokescreen for the complete meltdown of our secular society.

and probably not with the same guns readily available to us peasants.

Ah, the hypocrisy of the privileged class. This dirty little secret must be repeated over and over again.

prolefeed: the steady stream of mindless entertainment to distract and occupy the masses

George Orwell described the attitude of socialists towards the proles (plebs, Rome; lumpen proletariat, Marx): “Proles are not human beings.”
They would not consider the safety and well-being of our children by guarding them anymore than they would post guards at cattle feedlots, except to keep them from escaping.
Surely you have noticed that when the subject is raised—as LaPierre did the other day—about protecting public schools, as private schools are protected, the MSM quickly denigrates the idea (”More guns in schools?!”) and turns the subject back to gun confiscation.
“Gun control” isn’t about controlling guns; It’s about control, period. And I know—don’t call you `Shirley.’

The point is that they are extra special people.

The rest of you/us, obey the laws, be confiscated and be happy about it.

"I find it ironic this is historically a Quaker school."

Not really- They are up to their old old tricks: viz

"PACIFIST QUAKERS ATTEMPT TO DE-PACIFY IROQUOIS WITH FIREARMS, BUT NO SALE

1755? Pennsylvania Quakers try to sell arms and ammunition the Iroquois but fail:

``If you are inclined to carry on a War against any Nation, we have everything fit to kill Men with in plenty, such as Guns, Swords, hatchets, Powder, Lead, clothing, and Provisions, which we are Ready to furnish you with...If you should determine to strike the English you must kill the Soldiers only, and not us for we have no hand in the War nor will we concern ourselves with it but supply you with everything in Plenty, as we have enough. And if you should Determine to strike the French, we will likewise furnish you Plentifully, with everything for that Purpose.`` ,

`Against the acts of the Pennsylvania Quakers and traders, royal officials, Denny, Johnson and the army made such determined opposition that the scheme collapsed.`

secondary source: "Ticonderoga`s Lost Forgotten Forts...", Chapt. 3.

primary source: Phillips, I, p.534-535 cites Johnson, Jan 29, 1758, who wrote that this was from speeches delivered to the Mohawks [by the Quakers] and brought to him, apparently by a Tuscarora chief; Great Britain Colonial Office 5, 50; copy in Library of Congress 93, p.221

“What is truly frightening is how easy the politicians, media, celebrities etc.. who are so willing to protect their precious kids and allow our babies to be targets.”

But if they did not set up school children in defenseless victim zones, how would they justify disarming the people?

For the lurking libs who don’t believe their are 11 armed security guards at sidwell.

Oh goody, a unionized Federal TSA for public schools.

When they deny parents access to their children, "socialization" will be complete.

Better to require military combat experience for teachers instead and/or deputize teachers willing to undergo military combat training. That way, we could fire the Marxist claque we have now as "unqualified." After all, it's going to take that with all the gang bangers in the schools we have today.

FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD!

The students at that school probably have four legs and are obviously MORE EQUAL.

“It’s about control, period...”

You are absolutely 100% correct, tumblindice. It is about control.. control of the masses. What do they fear? The masses uprising when they have had enough? The liberal machine used this tragedy solely for their own purpose.. gun confiscation. No real discussion about mental illness.. no real discussion about what drugs/if any the offender was taking and if they had some sort of negative effect. It is all about taking guns away from the average working Joe.

[dragnet2]

Government insiders, politicians, and government officials at ALL levels are surrounded by guns, layers of armed security...They have armed drivers, secured offices with armed guards, armed guards surrounding their armed, gated sprawling homes, etc....

Yet they incrementally want to take away the safety and protection from the law abiding, tax paying peons...

Could anyone not see this coming 30+ years ago?

[Paladin2]

Why would a school named “Friends” need guns when it exists in a gun free zone (Washington, DC)?

[DTogo]

What are they armed with, muskets?

Since Democrats hate rich people so much, why don’t they advocate requiring highly overpaid teachers and administrators — those making more than $60 thousand a year, for nine months’ work, of course — to contribute a small percentage of their salaries to hiring security guards for their schools?

Seven of the dead in the Connecticut shooting were teachers, so they’d be direct beneficiaries of such an arrangement.

However, so obsessed have liberals been with blaming gun owners in the post-shooting hysteria, whom they apparently hate even more than rich people, that there has been no discussion of any other possible solutions to the security problem than gun confiscation — a completely unworkable ‘’solution.’’

So far, the only beneficiaries of the tragedy have been gun manufacturers and gun-sales personnel, whose merchandise has been flying off the shelves. And, if the gun-control hysteria continues, Republican candidates will also benefit in future elections.

The Democrats have not emphasized gun-control in the past few election cycles because they know it’s a losing issue for them. But if they want to not only bring it out of mothballs as they’re doing now but also continue to wave it in everyone’s faces, good, they’ll be making a lot of Republicans’ days.

I think that the taxpayers actually pay the taxes for the federal employees and Congress. Our tax dollars pay their wages - so, the taxes paid out of those come from where? Our tax dollars. Does this make sense? It does to me. LOL

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

The elite get protection. We masses have to fend for ourselves.
