I don't want my kids in a school with armed guards - they had that in Uvalde and see how that worked out.

The antidote is education, hope, and support for mental health

MCPS keeps pushing this exact message and spending $$ on it, but there is an increase in violence.

And "hope" that your child doesn't get shot at school is a ridiculous solution. I can just see it now... the progressive BOE members telling the parents at a meeting "hope if this answer to all this violence".

GMAFB.

You have missed my point entirely. I mean the uneducated, lower-class, needs hope that a good education will make a difference, that their children can live the American Dream.

Instead we keep squeezing the lower and middle class so that they have no hope, which leads to violence, because there's no hope of moving up

Stop aready. Some of the guns and shootings are at rich schools.

Virtually all of the mass school shooters have been at middle class and wealthy schools.

And they even occur at private schools...even religious ones. This is what happens when you live in a country with more guns than people.

The county provides funding to privates for security.
