Public schools are local and state institutions. Give parents vouchers. Free them from the soicalist, immoral, stupid machine. They are humans not a herd of unfeeling, immoral animals.
And how much money has gone to his family’s upkeep? Over a billion dollars? And how much money has been cut from the schools’ funding?
“’Our hearts are broken today,’ President Barack Obama said, wiping a tear from his eyes as he reacted to the tragedy. ‘As a country we have been through this too many times due to idiotic leftist policies that TOTALLY disregard our Constitution...’”
Fixed it! :)
It has been reported that Sandy Hook recently upgraded their security, though I don’t know to what extent. Lanza forced his way in, either by shooting or busting open the door. How much security do you need at an elementary school? My schools (many years ago) had absolutely no security and we never had any problems. What has changed?
America has changed.
It is now almost unrecognizable.
Money for school security wouldn’t have prevented the killing. All security measures are defeated by employee indifference or stupidity.
Bush’s fault! Uh, no, wait, the Republicans’ fault! Uh, hmm, ok, time to turn on the tears for the cameras, yeah, that’s it.
This is embarrassing to the socialist pig in the White House, who thinks that the government should control everything.
But frankly, the last thing in the world that would be likely to prevent a tragedy like the Newtown killings is a bunch of fat federal bureaucrats throwing money around.
Can we get him on murder charges ?
Exactly. The less the federal government is involved, the better.
Yes but think of the opportunity for graft and corruption. Think of all the billions that could have been funneled to supporters and enviros installing wind and solar security systems throughout the country.
Arm the teachers. Problem goes away.
Evidently we need a lot more than a glass door. I myself would be happy to pay a few extra bucks to put veterans at the front doors of all our schools in my town as long as they are armed and trained to kill evil bastards. But the federal government can stay the hell out.
“School violence programs” aren’t exactly relevant to this case: they attempt, usually through education or psychological manipulation, to prevent intra-school violence perpetrated by students and would have no effect on attacks on schools by others as was the case in Newtown. A school security program (ideally Israeli-style) would have been relevant to preventing a case like this, or at least minimizing the death toll.
And Police & School Unions!!!
Arming the teachers is fine if the teachers want to be armed or are capable of pointing the correct end of the gun at the bad guy. However, most grammar schools are populated by female teachers and administrations and in my neck of the woods they are liberals by high percentages. They can’t put together the fact that evil bastards love gun free zones.
As a former School Safety Officer, I agree with Reader_David!
Damn, this reads like they wanted something like this to happen.
I thought they had cops at schools. So much for protection which is obviously a lie.
