It’s more like a bunch of morons without any brains. Jeez, what’s with all these government loving scared pussies. Government can’t do a damn thing right.
Education and school security is none of the eff’n federal government’s business. Block grants come with strings, get washed thru the DC bureaucracy and then back thru a state bureaucracy.
Abolish the federal Dept of Education, cut every single dollar spent by the federal government related to education, school lunches and anything to with children. Get the federal government completely out of families’ lives, local law enforcement, airport security and shutter DHS after sending things like the Coast Guard and Border Patrol back to where the once came.
Local and state tax dollars used for education should of go directly to parents to use as they see fit. Eventually, zero tax dollars at any level should go to education. When people pay their own way they tend to take responsibility.
Good points but good security costs money.
Block grants to states with minimum standards is the only way to fund unless states raise taxes which can be inconsistent.
Minimum standards are as simple as a list of federal or state approved vendors and list of minimum equipment and management.
Private companies have turn key solutions for homes and businesses. They can get a system installed and operating. Here’s one example:

There are many more.
All that needs to be done is form a list of security equipment coverage, employee training, physical security infrastructure, surveillance, offsite monitoring. Have state offices choose a shopping list, submit to federal offices for review, approval, and first round funding.
This is not difficult.
There’s a reason it hasn’t been done. Probably has to do with liability or intransigence or both.
