Me too.

Of course you are fine with it until something like Connecticut happens.

"Something like Connecticut"? There has been one "something like Connecticut". Do we turn every school into the country into a high-security facility forever because something truly awful happened at one school once?

In Connecticut, the doors were locked and even a parent would have needed to be buzzed in at the time. The shooter shot out the front door, remember? If you're really concerned, lobby for bulletproof glass in the school windows.

That may be so but it doesn't help when the door is just open and no one in the office gives a flying fuck about who is in the building.

It also didn't help, as the PP points out, when all of the doors were locked and people had to be buzzed into the building.
