$100 BILLION FOR UKRAINE; WHY NOT $100 BILLION FOR SECURING OUR NATION'S SCHOOLS?
Freerepublic.com ^ | March 28, 2023 | Hostage

Metal detectors, placed at all unlocked school entrances with surveillance cameras (which are quite affordable). And yes, with armed school personnel trained and ready to defend.

Now why wasn't the $100 billion sent to Ukraine directed to school security instead? Explain.

We know President Trump wanted to do precisely this.

So why didn't Speaker Nancy Pelosi appropriate the funds? Was she more focused on gun confiscation instead?

Security systems are no longer expensive. Armed guards can be existing school employees who are required to undergo extra training in weapons and defense.

The idea of securing the nation's schools is no more far-fetched than securing airport terminal gates.

Schools can most certainly be secured. Gun free zones make me nervous. Nothing wrong with RESPONSIBLE people carrying.

We need to spend $100 billion on the starving Martians.

The cabinet should deliver the funds in person!

Would rather see $100 billion spent on securing OUR nation’s borders.

So the central government should have armed agents in every religious school?

I'm not sure that's what our founding fathers had in mind.

To answer your question: Because the war in Ukraine is a war being fought for our political class and their financial backers. They care about enrich themselves far more than they care about the peons they rule over.

I had missed that story and thanks for the link. It’s hard to keep up with the news stream.

Prayers for the officers recovery. Sad.

Not with federal dollars. Begin with shuttered the federal department of education. Outlaw teachers unions. Education tax dollars should go directly to parents and parents should choose how and where to educate their children. Let parents decide the level of security they want. A one size fits all solution is doomed to waste and failure.

100 billion to Ukraine, Bush’s 10 year long Compassionate war costing 4 trillion...Afghanistan many hundreds of billions more, trillions to foreign aid to countries all over the planet, then add in the government sponsored invasion of the U.S. costing hundreds of billions more....

I’m starting to wonder how in hell this is even possible and why would we do this to our own people?

What an epic disgrace.

The Federal government has no business in “Education”. Personally, the historic local school house is the best method of organizing districts. At the beginning of the 20th century, when all the one room schools were being shuttered in favor of consolidation, supporters of the local school house warned that consolidation would lead to trouble and it has.

Why?
Because gun control activists and politicians NEED more shootings, more dead children to get what they desire.

Lol. Very little of that goes to Ukraine. Biden had to find money to fund his projects Manchin wouldn’t vote for.

If we secured our schools the Ds would have less opportunities to politicize the 2A

Ukraine should be supported...it’s the gazillions being blown on global warming/green energy that is the high crime.

I will not let a person who gave $85 billion in weapons and billions more in cash to the Taliban tell me that I cannot have an AR-15.
