With rampant violence and little gun control, public schools, private schools, and colleges need funding and mandates for protection of students.
Why is this important?
As a mom of three children in New York City public schools, I often wonder what would happen in the all too common worst-case scenario of a school shooting. There should be more protection at the door, like an armed set of security guards and emergency button for 911/gun violence alarm. There should be bullet proofing on all doors both inside and outside, locks on all classroom doors, and an automated way to set these locks from security and the main office. Enough is enough; if we can't create gun control laws to minimize this risk, it is time to create protections to stop the killing and injuring of innocents.
