Trump, Guns and Money = More Prison/Schools
My initial response to learning that Donnie was going to speak at Parkland; it must be on the way to the golf course.
Schools are not the sacred hallowed halls that they should be because... parents have failed to raise their children with a sense of personal self worth, compassion, imagination, intellect, curiosity, understanding, and most lacking, a desire to learn.
Instead they have shirked that responsibility. "Oh, its too hard, let's leave it to the professionals."
America's teachers are among the lowest paid (in our economy). They are poorly resourced - what other job has employees bringing supplies from home at their own expense? Teachers are expected to manage and control large groups of unruly young people without any recourse but to take the forthcoming abuse. Abuse that the un-parented students know they can impart with impunity. (Reads: They know they can get away with sh*tty behavior and not be punished.)
So what are America's answers? Let's start by turning already minimum security prisons Schools into medium security prisons Schools. Let's add more prison School guards. Let's make sure the guards are equipped armed to "manage" any perceived threat circumstances. Let's borrow from the existing penal system and practice "Lockdowns" as a way to "protect" our precious children.
Let's take all the same precautions that as a society we take to protect ourselves from criminals.
Why does this resonate so completely with today's horrific news?
Because we, as parents, have allowed our children to behave like the criminals we insist on putting in prisons.
