And I have to say the Republicans aren't offering a whole lot for our kids at this point. But I'm also one of those who doesn't think reading a book about gay and lesbian couple is going to turn either of my children. Gay. If they're going to be gay, they're going to be gay no matter what they read.
I know none of my gay friends turned straight after watching rom-coms or reading novels about straight people. So I'm pretty sure that's not how this works.
Anonymous wrote:One required safety feature that I have not seen mentioned is the need for exterior doors to have alarms. I moved my DD out of her college dorm recently and the door to her section of the building has a built-in alarm. If the door is propped open, an alarm will sound and security should come immediately to investigate. We were able to move things out of the dorm, but had to make sure not to leave the door open. It was a little bit of a pain at the time, but an important safety feature to have.
Another important consideration - schools should lock down when there is a crime involving a firearm in the area. For instance, when DD was in her MCPS high school, a local McDonald's was robbed at gunpoint about 1/2 mile from the school. The HS went into lockdown, at least a "soft" lockdown. PE classes came inside. Exterior doors were checked. Classroom doors were locked, but classes could continue until police gave the "all clear." This should have happened in Uvalde as soon as the grandmother's shooting was reported to the police.

This guy had a high powered killing machine and tons of ammo. If he didn’t find an open door he could get through a window or other means. And he could have killed everyone in those rooms before the first officer ever even showed up as in Newtown. We can’t expect everyone to be perfect. We can expect people to use guns for their intended purpose - to shoot and kill people. Get rid of the guns.
Yes, beautifully said, spot on, and please consider running for office. I'm serious. You've stated this in a way that it's hard to imagine anyone taking issue with.

You can't see much of anything in that grainy video, you lunatic. You don't even see the door or whether it is propped open.
You people are insane.
You don’t see the door swing either. JFC.
You wouldn't see it swing inward would you?
Just to clarify, are you all arguing if she literally propped the door open and he walked through a propped open door, or is she being accused of leaving the door unlocked after closing the door she temporarily propped open but then closed? I can't tell if you mean literally open or just not locked.
Those doors swing outward.
How do you know? I haven't seen a lot of info about the door mechanics. Is there an article that discusses it?
DP - no, of course there isn't. This poster is making it up. The only indication that door opens inward is the statement from the article that "she slammed it shut," which would be a slightly odd thing to say if the door swung outward, but doesn't tell us either way.
Not really. You're forgetting that she saw the gunman and had called 911. Those doors often have a slow or delayed close mechanism. If you want it to close fast then you need to pull it hard.
My guess is that Councilman Chief Pete tried to pin it on the teacher and that's why he stopped cooperating on Sunday.
But she was already back in her classroom after getting the phone and calling 911. The door isn't THAT dang slow![]()

Whelp, the door is how he got inside in the first place, so it's kind important. You have NO idea what he would have done. That part is simply made up. Why go through a door at all - just bang your way in any old way. Why bother looking for an unlocked door? How did he know THAT door was unlocked?
