STOP THE PRESSES, NAY STOP THE INTERWEB, NAY...


Stop the world!!!  Lex is in agreement with a Demo-Dope!!! Oh, the humanity!!  Say it ain’t so Lex!!

It’s true.

But wait it gets worse.  Not just any Demo-Dope a Dope from The Empty Suit’s administration.

Brace yourself America.  Here it is.  After the Texas school shooting, The Empty Suit’s former Ed Secretary Arne Duncan swerved into a solution for two problems.  Duncan asked What if no children went to school until gun laws changed to keep them safe?  Brilliant Arne!!  Hell yes shut ‘em down.  What good have they been over the last 40 years?

That course of action would put an end to the school shooting situations and literally ANY other education model is likely to be superior to the status quo that has been around since the 1800s.

On second thought, maybe Lex isn’t agreeing with a Dope, maybe it’s a Dope agreeing with Lex.  


Since it’s unlikely that common sense will be considered in any solution to improve the school model, how do we protect children while the smartest kid in the class is being bussed across town and forced to learn the same material at the same rate as average joe?

Well I think that wide open access to anything invites trouble.  Take a border.  If anyone can stroll across a border at any point, the country has no idea of who is coming and who is going. Once access is limited, say by…oh Idunno…something like a wall, then “authorities” can better observe people coming and going at controlled access points. 

So common sense asks why access to many schools and the southern border of the US are left wide open? 

Forcing the enemy into lanes in the military it is called channelization.  The idea is to direct the enemy into narrow kill zones using obstacles, wire, landmines, outposts to direct indirect fires etc.  School entries need to be channelized so that so some control and observation of who is coming and going can be established.

Well then Lex doesn’t limiting access at schools create a target rich environment for potential school shooters at the channelized entries?  Yes it does.  That’s why security is layered.  Resource officers inside the school during class would be outside observing the migration of students into the building – an outpost if you will.  So say a kid shows up in a trench coat on a 90 degree day, the officer might ask him to unbutton his coat so the officer could see inside. 

Also various aspects of the “routine” are changed from time to time so that a potential shooter’s “dry run” becomes more difficult.  Resource officers who regularly engage students 50 feet from the school entrance, show up in the parking lot one morning and look into the vehicle of every 3rd or 4th car.  The 10th car has the doors, trunk and glove box opened.  Yeah, hell yeah, if you don’t like it drop the kid off a block from school and let him walk uphill both ways like the rest of had to do.

Dare I suggest volunteer teachers (possibly armed) augment the process from time to time?

Can I make an even bolder suggestion?  Work with the NRA.

Lefty who have not fainted dead away at the suggestion are now shouting at the screen, “Egad man!!  Have you lost your F-ing mind?? They’re a terrorist organization responsible for the murder of hundreds, no thousands, no millions, no billions of school children every single day!!!  You’re turning the schools into armed camps.”

The NRA is not a terrorist organization.  It is the premier gun safety organization in America.  It also has been studying effective responses to school shootings since Columbine.  So why in the world would any school truly interested in student safety refuse their advice?

The fact is that there are some Lefty Libs perfectly happy for the carnage to continue.  The goal being to gather up all of the guns and then impose onerous government regulation over speech, the right to assemble, the right not to be terrorized by the government knocking down your door in the morning and seizing your computer and files, etc. etc. etc.

The fact is that even if the #2A is repealed today and law abiding people turn over every gun they own, guess what?  Criminals will still have guns.  So the schools need to change the way they allow access or accept that this BS will continue.  

And last of course is the question, why do we insist on a 19th century model of education where children are herded, nay REQUIRED by the state to be herded into, for lack of a better expression for this topic, kill zones?

We have been told we must feed students as none of them have food at home. Will they starve with no school? We must legalize pot. Raise min wage to $15/hr. Provide free college tuition. Would we have a large group of stoners flipping burgers, living at parents home to age 35, and no one meeting college entry requirements? Or maybe a larger group than we have now. And turning teenagers into the streets with no school? How safe is that? But Lex is right. The kids come last in the education system. The system exists to fund progressive political campaigns.
