Trump: "Highly trained expert teachers will be allowed to conceal carry, subject to State Law"

8. This whole thing is just plain crazy.

What. We dress our kids in Kevlar backpacks and Kevlar vests. We drive them right up to the front door and have an armed guard cover for them as they run 20 feet to the bullet proof door. Then they get searched for weapons in a bullet proof room. And then they are allowed into their school were there are more armed guards and armed teachers.

Then children enter bullet proof safe rooms that lock from the inside. While armed guards patrol the hallways. And that is how they are supposed to learn?

This is what our society has become?

I lived through the Commie scare of the 60's. We had bomb drills. We wore dog tags. I had nightmares for years. I used to dream about atom bombs dropping from the sky - hoards of bombs all dropping at once. And me, a little kid, trying desperately to find someplace safe.

I don't want that for our children.
