The reality is that a school district such as the one in which I worked, Anchorage School District, has 100+ schools. That means 100+ security officers. Let's just say $60K each. That's $6M.
I'm all for it, but there is a budget issue.
Now think of this in terms of districts that barely can keep up-to-date textbooks. From where will that $ come?
So what you're both saying is that, as per usual, the Washington, D.C. elite deserve to have special privileges that are not only unavailable to the rest of us, but illegal for the rest of us as well. Do you not see the hypocrisy of our government passing laws that prohibit firearms at schools and then sending their children to a school that employs armed guards?
Quite frankly, I don't care how high profile their children are. The fact that they are surrounded by armed guards while schools across the nation are vulnerable to attack by nutjobs is outrageous. In a similar vein, who wants to bet that there will be special exemption for these security personnel if an "assault weapons" ban gets passed?
In most cases monetary resources for schools are controlled by LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS. If local school boards want to make the financial commitment to increase the level of security in their schools it's up to the people IN THE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT to provide those resources.
The Official Conservative Motto: "Whine About Meaningless BS While Ignoring Things That Actually Matter"
Just WHEN has Obama EVER stated people who can afford it shouldn't send their kids to private schools?
So the poor dont deserve the same protection as the rich when it comes to their kids safety! Ok i understand what you are saying! I dont agree with it but i understand your point!

You may as well have said that poor don't deserve the same level of protection as the rich who drive Mercedes with 24 airbags. If you can afford better you can pay better. Generally if it's free it may be good but usually not exceptional.

The irony of your post is that most inner city schools have metal detectors and a security staff. In many cities the kids actually have BETTER security than in suburban schools.
The school districts in cities are WILLING to pay for that level of security.
Suburban school districts have the "That sort of thing doesn't happen here" attitude and don't even consider it.

Get it right. It's the school with 11 armed guards. Not just his daughter. Sidwell Friends, school of the elite of D.C.- kids of senators, congressmen, CEO's, lobbyists andbascially the BSD's of D.C. It's generally a destination for these people because the school is used to having high profile kids there.
So your false outrage is disingenuous. You may as well be outraged that a steak knife is sharp.
In other words, kids who are more likely to be targeted by people with an agenda.
The parents of these kids pay about $34,000 per child for tuition which includes security.

Too bad the children of Newtown aren't the sons and daughters of the liberal elite. Perhaps then liberals would give a darn about them.
And the only way to demonstrate giving a darn is to mandate every teacher, in every school be armed with an AR-15?
