No, but they can make grants available to every school to hire who they like.
The U.S. is flat broke, in debt and nearly dead on the floor. What a moronic comment.
THAT is a sentiment I can get behind... completely apart from any 2nd Amendment considerations.
Securing our schools could be done for effectively no money at all. Train the teachers and allow them to carry guns. Since Israel did this there hasn’t been one school terror attack.
The problem with security systems is two-fold. One, the people who must use them daily learn how they can be bypassed and often do so. After passing through a normal security electronic and physical search at the St. Pete courthouse I was looking out a window and saw someone had propped open a fire door and people were going in and out without passing security. I went back to the security guards and spoke to the ranking guard. He rolled his eyes and said that the chief judge didn’t like going through security, so he had that door propped open. I asked, then what good is your security check here? He blushed and thanked me for my attention to the problem.
The other problem is the bad guys may just walk up to the security section and kill the guards. If you listen to witnesses or participants where something like that happens, they will invariably say something like, “I just couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t react.”
Training and arming the teachers is better because some of them will be far enough away to have the necessary decision space to realize what is happening and then react to it appropriately. From that perspective, having ten armed teachers spread around the campus is superior to having a guard. Also, in many cases where there is security the guards ARE NOT ARMED.
Years ago at the Honeywell plant where I worked a cuckolded husband walked up to the guard on the midnight shift, cranked a round into his 12 ga pump shotgun and asked the guard, “Where’s Lola?” Without hesitation the guard answered, “Aile J Beam 12.” He didn’t even lie. (Lola, the wife, was on break having sex with her supervisor. The husband was later captured without incident by sheriff deputies.) My takeaway lesson was an unarmed guard is only good for giving the shooter directions.
PERSONNEL ARE EN ROUTE TO ESCORT YOU & YOUR FAMILY TO A REEDUCATION FACILITY.
YOU HAVE 30 MINUTES TO PACK FOR 3 WEEKS.
Watch out, with an attitude like that you’ll be labeled a Putin stooge.
pelosi coudn't be seen as being cooperative with anything President Trump might sugget or offer.. See also his offer for National Guard for Jan 6th rally. Any cooperation would ruin her career and her facade.
Amen!!!
“The idea of securing the nation’s schools is no more far-fetched than securing airport terminal gates.”
The police footage, with sound, has alarms going off as they hunt for the murderer.
Fencing? Fencing with surveillance cameras, autolocks, secure gates?
You think $100 billion couldn’t make it more difficult?
“So why didn’t Speaker Nancy Pelosi appropriate the funds?”
Same for her (and Bowser scumbag) not activating the National Guard for Jan 6th, despite pleas from POTUS45 and others. Their “agenda” is paramount to them.
When laders have the ability to do something yet fail to do so, the only possible conclusion is they don’t want to.
The nation’s largest teachers’ union adopted a new policy statement calling for an end to the “criminalization and policing of students"—but stopped short of urging the removal of armed officers on school campuses.
Last year, National Education Association delegates established a task force to explore the role of law enforcement in education. The task force—which included teachers and at least one school security guard—has since developed a policy statement on how to achieve “safe, just, and equitable schools” and published a 73-page report outlining the group’s analysis and rationale.
During the NEA’s representative assembly this week, delegates voted by a wide margin—93 percent in favor—to approve the policy statement, which advocates for restorative justice, culturally competent professional development, family and community engagement, and the elimination of inequities in student discipline and the policing of students on campus.
While the policy statement does not call for the removal of school police, the accompanying report warns that the presence of uniformed, armed law enforcement and security personnel at school contribute to the criminalization and policing of students. It also emphasizes that students of color are disproportionately affected.

It can happen, if they make sure Biden gets his cut. It will cost more than a billion. Probably like a 100 billion. But it can be done. Just make sure Biden gets his cut off the top.
Why?
Because there is too much political power to be had by the gun grabbers. They don’t care when children are killed. What is the first thing out of their filthy mouths when something like this happens. “BAN GUNS.” And in Biden’s case. “I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream.”

Because those good ideas don’t advance Leftism and a “liberal world order”.
Instead of armed IRS agents, let’s train armed resource officers for every school in America.
