[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any others?  Normal/not normal given the circumstances?  Lots of parents up in arms about the guard being armed, but if there’s an actual threat I guess it makes sense. [/quote]

Armed security for a preschool is pretentious and creates a whole new security risk. I'm sure a big group of parents pressured the school into it, no way it was the school's initiative. [/quote]

You clearly aren’t aware of the level of antisemitism that exists in the US. My partner is Jewish and I have sent two children to Jewish preschools in this area and both had security. One was in DC with high profile diplomats and policymakers who sent their children there and the kids were potential targets. It was completely appropriate for the synagogue to
Have security in this case. The other was a smaller synagogue which had police security during the hours the preschool was open and during services. Temple members and school families pay for the security as part of their membership dues or in the form
Of an annual security fee, and it’s just part of the operating costs. Synagogues often get threats. They are responding to a real risk that you are clearly ignorant about. [/quote]
