That was just to get your year started. I'm sure there will be a lot more of those this school season.
"Schools across the US enhance security" by Christine Armario | Associated Press, August 25, 2013
MIAMI — In the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Pembroke Pines, students returning to school this year are being greeted not only by their teachers and principal. They are also meeting the armed school resource officer who will be permanently on campus.
And because the schools are so immersed in politically-correct brainwashing, inculcation, and indoctrination, the kids have no context of history, thus no understanding of what they are seeing in front of them in their formative years. The children will grow up to see the militarized surveillance state as a natural way of life. In some ways, they already do. They love their spy-tracking gizmos.
Crime in this middle-class community has been on a steady decline, but city officials decided to place a school police officer at every elementary, middle, and high school after a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., last year.
I'm sure there are no budget pre$$ures, not when it comes to tyranny. Saying something like that gets dead kids bodies (so we are shown on TV) waved at us, and scurrilous charges are raised about our humanity. You just never mind about all those war lies that got you kids killed, in the past and in the future. Those are the same people so concerned about your kids safety, even thought the lunches suck.
‘‘It is a relief to have them here,’’ Linda Pazos, principal at Lakeside Elementary School said on Monday, the first day of school.
In the aftermath of the massacre at Sandy Hook, many districts across the nation are increasing the number of school resource officers on campus and, in a few cases, permitting teachers to carry concealed weapons themselves.
That last one is frowned upon; if you have noticed, the whole gun debate, such as it is, from Zimmerman on down, has focused on PRIVATE OWNERSHIP and USE -- even as the COPS GUN DOWN MORE KIDS in ONE DAY than any other force. You see, it's okay if the authorities have all sorts of cool weaponry and gear since a SWAT team is now part of the response in nearly every case.
An armed security presence is now standard in many of the nation’s middle and high schools, but it has been rarity at elementary schools. Few districts can afford to place a school resource officer at every elementary school, because there are so many and they tend to have fewer incidents requiring a police response than middle and high schools.
Isn't that amazing? Leaving the most vulnerable of our children unprotected.
Question: why do authorities hate our children?
And how can they not afford it with the Great AmeriKan Economic Recovery in full swing?
Lawmakers in every state in the nation introduced school safety legislation this year, and in at least 20 states those proposals became law, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The new laws range from one authorizing a volunteer, emergency security force at schools in Franklin County, Ala., to one allowing Missouri state employees to keep firearms in a vehicle on state property, if the car is locked and the weapon is approved by authorities and not visible.
Bernard James, a professor of constitutional law at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., said one clear trend among legislation introduced since Newtown has been assessing the security of elementary school campuses.
Past efforts to prevent school violence had not focused on elementary schools, James said, ‘‘and that lack of dedicating resources is what was under examination.’’
There are more than 67,000 elementary schools nationwide, more than twice the number of middle and high schools combined.
Sandy Hook Elementary had all the standard safeguards and more, including a locked, video-monitored front door. It did not have a school resource officer. Instead, there were officers at middle and high schools.
Yes, a uniformed party member will be stationed at each and every school despite SH having the most up-to-date and modern system(?).

Haunted by hoaxes? The most modern system of security and drugged-up Adam Lanza made it through? To a school that has been closed as a crime scene and will soon be demolished?
Hmmmmm.
There are many advantages to having an officer stationed at school: Students who see or hear something suspicious immediately know who to tell; the mere presence of an officer can deter would-be attackers; and if a gunman does attack, a school resource officer is already there to respond, saving critical minutes between a 911 call and dispatchers mobilizing police.
Yup, if you SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING, KIDS! Just don't let your emotions and personal feelings get the best of you.
And how interesting that the AUTHORITY'S GUN is a DETERRENT, but NOT YOURS, private citizen.
‘‘That first, immediate shot, chances are nobody is going to be able to stop,’’ Kevin Quinn, president of the National Association of School Resource Officers, said. ‘‘The difference is going to be responding to it.’’
Quinn said his group has trained twice as many new officers as last year, more than 90 since January.
While some question the need for an armed presence on campus, arming teachers and others when a school resource officer cannot be hired is even more controversial. At least three states have passed laws allowing teachers to be carry handguns on campus....

Do you see the lengths they will go to get you to accept a militarized state?
How do teachers fight back against that when they are expelled from schools for telling the truth or contradicting conventional political orthodoxy?
--more--"
Yeah, you better get "uniformed, qualified law enforcement officers" for all the schools, after you get done apologizing to the NRA for laughing at them when they suggested such a thing.
