Jesus Christ, what a load of crap. No tragedy is horrible enough to keep people from wanting to profit.

I’ll buy those door wedges as prudent and cost effective, as well as safety drills: being able to react to an emergency can be important. Does every school do that yet

But do you know what I have seen in every school my kids have gone to? There’s always a door propped open, broken, or trivial to bypass the lock. Why don’t we start there?

starting with a burocratic system is rarely a cost effective strategy.
