Protective armor for students

Soon after being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992, Patty Murray went on a radio show and said:


That's stupid. If you see the
flash you're blind for life.

"When I was growing up, the big fear in my life was the nuclear war. I remember teachers giving us skills to deal with it, if that big alarm goes off, which was 'Hide under your desk.' Would that do any good? I don't know. But as a child, that gives you a feeling there's something to do beyond panic.

Today the biggest fear our kids live with is whether ... the kid beside them has a gun. We have to give them skills so they feel confident to deal with it."

The woman is not sure if ducking under a school desk would help in a nuclear attack. Not only that, but she wants to do something similarly pointless to help children "deal with" school shootings. Maybe imaginary bullet-proof vests!

From Ann Coulter

I'd say school safety is not a problem in Poland, and the test scores are higher.

Idioci w naszym rządzie. Idź do piekło. Jesteś zabicie tego kraju.
