[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents, don’t rest on “can’t secure all the doors.”

[b]Yes they can and they must![/b]

For decades, emergency doors had alarms when opened.

And there are motion sensor cameras even for private use so they can certainly adapt for door coverage.

Demand safety.  At minimum, start with wiring done at the schools to protect the students.  [/quote]

No, they can't. Or at least they can't without giving a lot of money to companies that sell "security", and turning a school building into a high-security building. I think education funding should go to education, not to the "security" industry.[/quote]

Do you work at a public high school? Have you sat in the corner of your classroom with 29 high schoolers during regularly scheduled active shooter drills? If no, then be quiet. If yes, then you are ignorant and don’t care about student safety.

Tell me something… every important building, like The White House or a Smithsonian, has emergency alarms on their non-main entrance. The church I grew up in—in a very rural area— had these as well. [b]Please tell me, do these buildings feel like a prison to you? Or do we, as a society, think this is “prison-like”?[/b] No. We see it as a realistic safety measure to protect valuable things.

Lack of security and enforcement proves the argument that MCPS does NOT care about students or see them or their safety as valuable. [/quote]

Yes.

Apparently you've forgotten what life in the US was like, before the era of mass shootings at churches and movie theaters and synagogues and grocery stores and concerts and schools and big box stores and parades and and and and and.[/quote]

If only the far-right GOP would stop blocking common-sense gun reform.[/quote]You mean like confiscating all guns so that only the police and criminals have guns?  No thanks.[/quote]
