This is what we have become: Mass. Kindergarten Uses Lullabies For Active Shooter Lockdown!

http://time.com/5305617/massachusetts-school-lockdown-lullaby/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=time.com&utm_campaign=ideal-media-internal-recirculation&utm_term=68737&utm_content=2248702

(SOMERVILLE, Mass.) — A Massachusetts kindergarten class is drawing attention for using a lullaby to teach students about lockdown drills.

Taped to the classroom’s chalkboard is a rhyme set to “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” rewritten telling students what to do if there’s a shooter.

It begins “Lockdown, lockdown, lock the door. Shut the lights off, say no more.”

Parent Georgy Cohen noticed the poster while visiting the Somerville school Wednesday. She took a photo and posted it on Twitter, writing, “This should not be hanging in my soon-to-be-kindergartener’s classroom.”

Her post had been shared more than 18,000 times by Thursday afternoon and drew hundreds of comments. Many said it’s disturbing that children so young have to be prepared for a shooting.

No words. The NRA has now convinced educators to terrorize infants. Meanwhile The Gun is put on a pedestal...America, is this really the solution...FEAR?
