Taking tips from communist China eh?

Smart move !

I mean, to be honest. If the teachers kill the kids first what’s the point of having a school shooter coming. Can’t beat a dead horse.

Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance.

So the children are prisoners in their own school. That’s fucked up!

What? Giving up on rocks so soon?

It is school not a prison, militarizing school security is not the answer

The bigger school lesson for the kids: gun-free zones are war zones. Also: freedom is sacrificed when your overlords use totalitarian tactics. Manufactured outrage/hysteria from extremist media makes you less safe.

(Insert picture of Homer Simpson slapping forehead)

Militarizing our kids sounds like a great idea...

Absolutely, do you think these Cowards would enter a school to kill innocent children if they knew they could be killed by a Secret Service agent.

This is so goddam dumb I can’t even believe it’s being debated. When the first kid gets killed by a stray bullet and the parents sue the everliving shit out of the school district, there are going to be an awful lot of idiots pointing fingers at each other.

I don’t think it’s a good idea. You might as well start putting internal chips on people. It’s not good. Just because that person is secret service doesn’t mean anything. I’m a Marine, so!!

Good, because i still labled all those children who were guned down, in those terrifing school shootings as, AGENTS, of the department of education in the united states of america.I pray and am proud one of your nations states is taking action to prevent those type of atrocities.

“Fight Fire with Fire” -No fire fighter ever!

Or just remove the fire

One reason why this is a bad idea: Emantic Bradford.

screamguitarman What—no razor wire, gun towers, or minefields? You call that a safe school?

This is how security is accomplished. Banning guns and/or armed guards in school zones has been an utter failure at securing our schools.

Instead of just beefing up security at the expense of enhancing the Education system altogether, this measure seems to be a mitigation to a symptom rather than targeting the real threat which is weapons in the hands of just about anybody including those w/ suspicious background.

This is just stupid.

Good philosophy for a war zone. Why do we want our kids in war zone?

Absolutely that’s how Jerusalem does it

How Orwellian. It's cruel to bring a child into this world anymore.

They are retards. Although school shooting make great news stories, the likely hood of a student being in one is less then 1%.

Unfortunately this our only recourse,because of the ridiculous paranoia some have about universal background checks and keeping weapons out the hands of the mentally ill and violent felons.

just shut the public schools. pretend they’re gonna be “integrated.”

Let's put a special security detail around high performing students. As we get real with ourselves and conduct a reality check, we should acknowledge that sports don't really help with self actualization or staying off of drugs but regular exercise usually does.

Local Texas Fire Department attempts this policy and burns down entire town. News at 11.

'Security Upgrade' or a preview of times to come?

Welcome to my childrens school in Sweden. They spend money on, teachers, excercise, digitally assisted learning, sports field, free fresh and healthy food as well as school healthcare. Well, also a bit on security, they lock the doors during nights & weekends.

Heartening to know that the 'Ivory Tower' is becoming the 'Baghdad Green Zone'.

Pity for the students who have to live under such a regime. This stifles free movement, free expression, and independence. We must instead deal with the underlying culture that leads to violence.

If they really want to secure and save money. I suggest.... Why not do this online and 'home school everyone'? Drop high speed internet (hotspots) and have them do it that way. Save $$$, Buses, staff.. Then mom and dad can keep all the kids, guns and bullets and gravy at home.

I usually post my wsj piece on exaggerating the school shooting danger to question calls for stricter gun control. It works in opposition to this overreaction, too.

'My philosophy is you fight fire with fire.' And that’s why you were thrown out of the fire brigade!

At least someone is implementing a common sense strategy. If you were a psychopath looking for infamy, which school would you choose: - The one with the armed guards OR - The one with the “Gun Free Zone” sign?

Schools with turrets and ringed with concertina wire and a single gate with a metal detector where everyone walks through with their hands up. It will be lovely.

It's a dam shame that our Children have to be scared to go to school. Now there is armed guards guarding our schools. Sad that it's gotten to that level of safety.

Dealing with the symptoms but not the causes. Will always be a losing battle.

That doesn’t sound totalitarian at all.

Not Art

Cops experienced in security do exceptionally well in specialized policing. Law enforcement and security (protection specifically) are different disciplines, seems they have the best combination here.

No money for toilet paper or kleenex in schools, but automatic weapons are priority 1. USA! USA! USA!

If tx wouldn't encourage its citizens to play with fire, fire wouldn't be such a problem.The result will only be more and bigger fires.

Back to the Middle Ages. Bring the Garrote Vil.

I would much rather send my kids to a school with armed security than not. If you think otherwise, you never lived where thugs rule and law abiding citizens are sitting ducks.

So, it’s a prison. 🤷🏾‍♀️

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Maybe they should have spent more on education and they would not need all of this.

Is that Texas Tea Party and it again

Meanwhile half the kids can read

Dems think marches on Washington will secure their schools. Dummies. Good to see local govt taking action.

Good ol Texas. The dump of an entire nation.

Guns don’t teach, books do.

YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THAT PLAN.

The physical, environmental, social and political disintegration is reflected in an upsurge of nihilistic violence driven by rage. Crazed gunmen carry out massacres in shopping malls, movie theaters, churches and schools in the United States.

I’m really not sure how to feel about this I am kinda torn if it is a good idea or a bad

Lose our rights to secure our safety, something like that. 'America', 2019.

Who needs books.

Oh is that what's there?
