Let’s face it, your kids need to be safe when they go to school. I don’t know what all of the answers are, but I’m seeing that a lot of elite private schools have a strong security presence in their schools. I can’t even walk into the federal court without running into security guards, and having my purse examined. Why are we not protecting children?
As much as I actually hate this idea, until we get to the root of these school shootings, for now, kids in public schools need to be protected.
Whether it be poor parenting, a society that no longer knows right from wrong, medication, violent video games, or the poor quality of discipline in the public schools, kids need to be protected.
I wish there would be a national debate on what is driving people to commit such heinous crimes. Maybe it’s the media coverage? It’s hard to say, but it does make the murderer famous. Whatever the reason, and maybe there are several factors that contribute to all of this, school administrators are responsible for the safety of the children in their care. If they can find $150,000.00 to pay a DEIJ director to chit-chat with children about race and gender, they can certainly find funding for a security officer who is willing to protect these children.
Yes, you read that right, $150,000.00+ benefits for the DEIJ Director in SAU16. I think an ex-military officer or police officer who probably makes half of that, would be willing to take the job and appreciate that kind of pay.
Take a look at this:
