As everyone at FR should know by know, Ithaca prides itself on being "the most enlightened city in America." Yet, here we are with with a school in lockdown and students afraid to attend.
Another liberal "success story" I guess.

Um, what if there’s a fire?
Our rural school district of less than a 1000 started locking the classroom doors from the inside this year.
I am going to guess this is not really locking students in, but locking out people who are late. It’s NYS law, I believe, that doors in classrooms and such cannot be locked on the inside for just the reason you stated...the need to quickly evacuate in an emergency.
If there’s a fire, being locked will learn them. Learn them good.
“Um, what if there’s a fire?”
That was my first thought, I think this policy might violate fire code.
Are they locking the problem out, or in with them?
What’s the source of all the crime there? Why is locking school doors necessary?
Locked doors? Well, I guess if you can’t keep people out you may as well keep them in.
What instigated the rumors?
Amazingly ignored in the article was the point, thanks for telling us. Marxist news writers like to leave out certain things.
A wag once said that the only difference between prison and school was that in prison, the doors are locked;
Free the Ithaca Six!
Oh wait, wrong town, sorry.
I’d be yanking my kids out of that school.
Fine, as long as the doors open with a push from the inside.
If not, you’ve created a disaster waiting to happen.
What was the scare about, did someone draw a stick figure with a gun?
It will take a few rooms full of children being burned alive for them to reconsider this foolish idea.
I wish I was being sarcastic.
BENDER: That's very clever sir, but what if there's a fire? I think violating fire codes and endangering the lives of children would be unwise at this juncture in your career, sir.
