The bill, which calls for enhanced security measures at all Tennessee schools, passed through the state legislature in April and was sent to Lee’s desk to sign. The bill invests $230 million to strengthen safety at public and private schools across Tennessee and places several new requirements on schools to stop another school shooting. Gov. Bill Lee introduced the bill after six people, including three children, were killed at The Covenant School in Nashville on March 27.

None of those measures will stop a shooter as has been seen places where they've implemented those. Arm the teachers has been the most effective strategy to date.

The requirement that all new schools built or remodeled have bulletproof (or more accurately, ballistic resistant) doors and windows is going to be awfully expensive. Will no doubt lead to not only less school building and less remodeling but to cut costs, the windows will either be made smaller or eliminated entirely on everything that does get built
ReplyDeleteArmed, trained teachers is missing, of course. At least it's not an anti gun bag of crap. But we need to take a lesson from Israel: ARMED, TRAINED TEACHERS. Make it a prerequisite to taking the job.
ReplyDeleteWritten more as an "Armed Guard/Off-Duty Cop/Deputy side-gig protection act". Every time some "arm the teachers" bill comes up, they have to have the same training as a sworn officer and be able to make Chuck Norris cry like a schoolgirl.
DeleteThe same thing that killed the "Armed Flight Deck Officer" program after 9/11; they don't need to be trained to that level; all is needed is the mass shooter knows he/she/it will be met with an unknown amount of armed resistance.
Any bill they they feel the need to nail corpses to is a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I don't see any mental health supports to help cure transgender people, so I doubt this will help at all.
ReplyDelete"Aimed?"
ReplyDeleteIsrael had a similar incident about 40 years ago when an arab attacked an elementary school
ReplyDeleteIsrael hardened their schools (much like our airports, govt buildings & courthouses are secured). Since then 2 attempts were made to kill students & has resulted in 2 dead arabs, zero innocents.
It's not difficult. It's also clear this is easy solution. The only question remaining is WHY THE FK HAVEN'T OUR KIDS & SCHOOLS BEEN SECURED?
We know.... Cloward-Piven strategy to a T.
