1. Big flaw in his thinking as usual.

You can have all the smoke alarms in a house you want, but if they go off, people in the house have to know what to do and how to get out safely, instinctively.

2. This from a Wharton grad???

The Wharton School of what??? Wishful Thinking? Ammosexual Economics??? Dumbass Buffonery??
UPenn ought to ask for its diploma back... there's clearly been a big mistake.

4. Hardened school? WTF is that?

5. Armed teachers.

6. Maybe he wants all male teachers to have erections?

7. That's a phrase Wayne LaPierre used several times in his ramblings at CPAC.

The CNN analyst who said that he was speaking to an audience of one (which would be Trump) was spot on. Trump's already spitting back the reptile's words.

10. I heard it yesterday during the "recommendations" at his meeting

Someone mentioned it then too. Can't be a coincidence.

11. Working off the same script, I see. No surprise there.

It's a terrible phrase. They probably should have workshopped it a little better, because I don't think "hardened schools" conjures up anything pleasant or safe sounding.

9. Prisons

Barriers metal detectors armed guards and teachers etc.

8. Just last week I was talking to my grandsons about these drills.

The younger one, second grade, very large for his age, showed me how they get down on the floor. It was so sad. But what would be even sadder, especially psychologically, would be for them to know the teachers have guns while they are teaching in the school. I think that would harden this generation in more ways than I can imagine teaching them to be reactive would.
