You're kidding right? seems we need to train teachers to instantly barricade themselves inside the classroom when we have a nut job walking the halls. Now we need some way to tell them to do that. Their unions would never allow that and besides they've been taught that violence must be avoided at all costs. Little boys.......and little girls.... are taught that fighting back if provoked is wrong. Often, victims of violence on school property are treated just as harshly as any bully. Children are given a false sense of security....evil doesn't exist.... and are taught that they will face harsh consequences if they try to defend themselves. Teachers are taught to sugar coat acts of aggression and school administrations are afraid to confront bullies because they face law suits by their parents if they do. Basic survival skills have been bred out of most people by the lilly livered pc crowd.

The kids that were proactive and blocked entry by barricading the door were saved. Why this occurred to so few is a bit of a mystery to me. At any rate if the classrooms have stout windowless doors as this place appears to have had it seems we need to train teachers to instantly barricade themselves inside the classroom when we have a nut job walking the halls. Now we need some way to tell them to do that. How about something as simple as a deadbolt on each door that can be locked from the inside?
