Texas City High School and Intense Security for Students

Texas City High School and Intense Security for Students

We’ve written numerous times about the schools who are taking the security of their students seriously. Texas City High School has upped them one better: arming their guards with AR-15s, using chip technology in ID cards worn by students and staff to track where they are inside the school, special impact-resistant film for glass doors, and potentially using facial recognition to track who comes…

‘Arms dealer for schools’: Groups threaten DeVos with lawsuit over alleged plan to arm teachers

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and the Department of Education have been threatened with lawsuits over a plan to arm teachers that hasn't even been confirmed by anyone on the record, The Hill reported.

In response, the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, the American Federation of Teachers, the Southern Poverty Law Center and Democracy Forward came together to say they may sue if that plan goes forward.

Pro-Gun Student Questioned by School for Visiting Gun Range With His Dad

Cue the outrage.   It was great learning about our inalienable right of #2A and how to properly use a gun. This was my first time ever touching a gun and it made me…

A recent report from Colorado news station KOAA highlighted a training program in La Junta where rural law enforcement officers and school resource officers participated in active shooter response exercises conducted by FASTER Colorado.

NY Times: Police Brutality Has Come to Texas Classrooms

For years, I’ve argued that putting more armed officers in schools is not the magic solution many people think it is. After school shootings, especially high-profile ones, politicians inevitably start calling for more school resource officers, more security, and more police presence. The idea sounds simple enough. If there are more cops in schools, surely schools will be safer. The problem is…
