This from the brother of a victim:<br /><br />"We need more security, we need more firearms on campus, we need better background checks, and we need to study more on mental health."<br /><br />I would argue that we need less firearms on school campus' but since when did logic ever carry the day. I don't believe that students knowing their homeroom teacher is packing heat will positively contribute to their well-being or sense of security. If we want to turn our schools into maximum security prisons then by all means arm the teachers (and the students while you're at it). Many schools already look like prison from the outside. Guard towers, concertina wires, etc. All that's missing are teachers roving the halls with AR15s looking for students without hall passes.<br /><br />It's gotten to the point where I can't tell anymore if schools are designed to keep students in or outsiders out. All I know is that all the active shooter videos in the world won't make a bit of difference.Bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14543728085900576908noreply@blogger.com
