    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Local communities will ultimately decide for themselves what level of school security they are comfortable with. There are already uniformed cops patrolling many schools in the US and it has been this way for decades in some urban areas. I imagine more and more school districts will choose...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    How many adolescent boys live in a home with their biological father married to the birth mother? We are raising an entire generation of folks being told fathers are not really important... that Government will be substituted for fathers. How many generations of messed up males are we willing...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Enroute to Texas tonight, I am listening to an Israeli on the radio explain that since the Israelis placed armed security in their schools in the 1970's, they have not experienced a single mass shooting at any school. Not one mass shooting. Are we to believe an American child is not...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Society can either wring its hands for the next 20 years or get real about protecting school children, right now. This should be a wake-up call to defend the most vulnerable segment of our population. Don't like the idea of guns in school? What's better.... more slaughtered children while we...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Troubled young men are the problem as most mass murder incidents are committed by men. Young men do not fear women, maybe they should, but they don't. An increased male presence, particularly the presence of armed men devoted to protecting children at schools, would make a huge deterence to...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Nearly every adult can be trained to respond to an armed intruder. Protecting school children within the confines of a school building shouldn't be so hard to do. It is my personal belief that the presence of well-trained and armed men devoted exclusively to the protection of kids at school...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    There is no single answer to school safety. Yet, many many steps can be taken which would dramatically reduce such tragedies. First and foremost, there must be some level of armed protection at school facilities. We live in a society chock full of deranged people who would copycat these...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    We must toughen security in our schools. We should welcome ideas from all political spectrums on school safety. It is a fact that the education system in the United States is largely controlled by those favoring liberal ideology. There's no getting around certain facts. Certainly, people of...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    I will be kinder to you. The lesson here is these women could not and did not defend themselves or the children adequately in the face of imminent slaughter. I remember them as they were: heroic but utterly defenseless. We need to beef up security at American schools. What are your ideas...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    These women did the absolute best they could, yet they had no means of protecting or defending the children or themselves. That's my point. They had nothing.

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    This is true. There must be hundreds of thousands of single-moms being bullied in their own homes by thuggish or deranged sons. Adolescent boys being raised in the absence of an at-home father contributes mightily to the social ills we face.

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    I invite our more liberal members to offer how we can best protect our 6 year-old children from being helplessly slaughtered at elementary schools. As things stand presently, there are no serious means of protection at many schools. Are our places of education going to be school houses or...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    It doesn't matter how well a female can shoot at a firing range. There's not much hesitancy among men when presented with a kill-or-be-killed moment. Women are nurturers. Men are hard-wired to kill if necessary. It's time to stop pretending the two genders aren't basically different.

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    The feminization of our schools has not increased the safety of children in their care. Yes, women do not have the same level of fight in them as men. The presence of serious men, dedicated to protecting schoolchildren, would give a lone shooter pause to think about his chances of succeeding...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    How do we make schools safer? We're talking about idyllic places with an open-door policy, mostly staffed by adult females who don't have much fight in them. The days of Mayberry RFD innocence are long gone. Schools need to take a much more defensive posture. There are many steps that can...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Don't think for a minute that terrorists aren't taking copious notes following the slaughter of schoolchildren in Connecticut. One deranged guy with a gun has taken over the national dialogue by entering the school to kill. Yes, we live in an open society and risk is inherent. Parents and...

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    Interestingly, no one has addressed the fortification of schools. There will be a call for serious, drastic changes.

    Turn every school into a fortress.

    In the wake of mass murder at a Connecticut elementary school, there will be tremendous pressure to change gun laws in the United States. But change will come in many other forms. Many will conclude our schoolchildren are too vulnerable to attack while at school. Parents and schoolboards...
