Teachers everywhere should be demanding that the school district allow them to be armed.

More homeschooling will help solve this problem.

But we can’t allow guns in the hands of trained, background-checked adults on school grounds, oh no, that’d be just terrible. < barf >

The policy of the US government should be that if one child gets harmed by these freaks then Mecca and Medina get turned into sheets of glass. Saudi Arabia and their oil be damned.

The Middle School on the nearby Army Base held a mock drill the day before school started. They had actors with guns that were firing blanks and did a good job from what I read in the paper.

Keep in mind, that school is deep inside a military installation that has armed guards and such and is MILES from the border.

On the other hand, my children attend a school that is only about 2 miles from the ill-protected border. It's a prime target for such an attack. They held no drills. I've been meaning to call the school and 1.)ask them about their procedures to deal with such an attack and 2.)ask them when they plan to run through some of the drills like the Middle School on post did. I really want to put the pressure on them to prepare for such an event because they are really a prime target. Your post has prompted me to make those calls ASAP.

They expect our reaction to be attacks on Muslims and the burning of mosques.

Sorry, that was the America of 50 years ago. If 9-11 won't ignite a backlash, what will?

The appropriate response by the people would be to burn every mosque and put every moslem to the sword... By the govt. atomize mecca, medina and the capitals of virtually every muzzie nation.

Of course nothing of the sort would happen. Our govt would declare martial law to protect the muzzies among us and the congress would gather to sing god bless america...no.. can't have god. ... america the beautiful.

Our govt. will allow any number of u to be butchered and they will not make any decisive response.

I called my 7 yr old daughter’s vice principal yesterday after asking my daughter about any drills for a terrorist attack. My daughter told me that they had rainstorm drills last year. Seems a rainstorm drill is a drill you sit in the back of the room near the wall of closets & you lay low & stay away from the windows. I asked the Vice Principal about this “rainstorm drill” & she was clueless. Then she said we don’t call it a terrorist drill so we don’t upset the children. We let the teachers call it what they feel is a good name. I got a bit upset & I said Oh you will show children movies that tell them what a family is & thats its ok to be gay but lie to them about terror attack drills. She got snippy & I got pi$t. My daughter is on her way to being home schooled as soon as I get the books.

Our schools are teaching our kids Arabic, it’s kind of cool. Not only that, but they are taught to swear allegiance to allah (however it’s okay if they keep their finger crossed) they are told. “It is better to swear an oath to allah rather than die” they were told and that if they can just hang on long enough for the liberals to work with the terrorist they will indeed create a “Heaven” based governmental program that will make it all worth it. / sarcasm ...

Last year, in reaction to the Amish massacre, our schools are all locked. There is a video feed on the front door and a parent has to buzz the desk, get seen by the secretary and state your business to get in, then the secretary unlocks the door. I’m not sure if there is any profiling going on, etc, but it is something.

Also, there was something about this on FR last year. And two days after the thread, the local news did a short piece about the principals (at least all of them in our county) and some select school personnel having met with FBI and local police about safety plans, etc.

Every year or two a local news crew will go out and attempt to gain access to schools to see how long it takes to be intercepted if they are successful. They do a great job keeping the administrators on their toes, by alerting parents about lax school security.

Thanks for posting. Hooray Glenn Beck!

Be alert. Be prepared.

The armed forces of The United States of America are doing a superb job against foreign enemies. We need to do the same against domestic enemies. It all starts with introducing “what if” scenarios.

I discussed this with our elementary school several years ago.

The school has detailed plans for terrorist/criminal attacks. The teachers are thoroughly prepared.

Each classroom has a door to the outside, and the school is within two miles of not only our city police, but our county police.

I don’t think our schools are prime targets.

The only threat I see is the school system itself.

Imagine an even worse scenario.
Muslims take over a school and threaten to kill all the children.
They negotiate with the authorities to draw in the news people.
They then kill everyone in a mass suicide because that’s what they intended all along.
Will the MSM paste the blame on the negotiators even though there is nothing they could have done because it was always the plan of the terrorists to blow up everyone?

This scenario is bad becuse it causes doubt and anger at the negotiators instead of where it would belong on the terrorists.
