[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't believe Brown had unlocked doors. Even our elementary schools keep doors locked at all times. Also can't believe they haven't identified the shooter yet. Why the secrecy? [/quote]

It’s a college. Most have unlocked doors. [/quote]

We went on 20 different campuses on tour and could walk in pretty much anywhere on campuses except student housing. [/quote]

That's dangerous and absurd.  [/quote]

How old are you?

You are crazy.

And you cannot protect against random whack jobs. I know it makes you feel better to think any random whacko with a gun can be stopped before anything happens. It’s not the world we live in unless you never leave the house.

We just had the army reserve shot and killed right near the White House. [/quote]

I work in a public school system. Not crazy at all. Every school in our system keeps doors locked. Admittance only with a badge or allowed to enter by person at front desk. Cameras everywhere. [/quote]
Clearly you do NOT have college-aged children. I am a professor, and it is *impossible* to keep all doors on a college campus locked with entry on an individual basis. At my mid-sized university, you theoretically need an ID to get into buildings, but in the time between the end of class and the start of the next period, you literally have hundreds of students streaming into and exiting buildings within a 15-minute window. How do you enforce students entering one-by-one and not holding the door open for the kids behind them? How long do you think it would take to process hundreds of students to enter into each building multiple times per day? And how many students do you think *forget* their IDs or lose them on a regular basis?
This is NOT an elementary, middle, or even school, with a secured building or small campus. You are talking about dozens of buildings, offices, labs, dorms, dining halls, athletic facilities, libraries, etc.

People are clueless or have toddlers and haven’t been on a college campus in decades[/quote]

Them accept the consequences of lax security.  [/quote]
