Kansas City Public Schools Reject Adding More Armed Guards

A recent report downplays an important fact . . .

Thankfully, there are police and some armed personnel currently protecting Kansas City Public Schools.

However . . .

With worsening threats of school shootings & rising local violence . . . Naive parents pushed back against efforts to bolster security. 

We're heard reasonable complaints that many schools within KCPS already look like prison camps. 

Still . . .   

Aesthetics might not be as important as keeping children safe from creepers and so many other dangers. 

Even worse . . . 

The tragic reality is that students confront the most danger from other students and youngsters and not the outside world.

Moreover . .  The utmost concern here is keeping students safe. Time & time again KCPS has shown they're unable to achieve as much and THAT is why so many families continue to abandon this district. 

And so . . . 

This report is filled with progressive pride that seemingly blames everyone else for gun crime that originates from within urban communities . . . 

Check-it . . . 

"Applause broke out at a Kansas City Public Schools advisory committee meeting on Wednesday when an employee announced the district was moving away from a proposal to add armed officers to elementary schools.

"In the end, district administrators heard too much opposition to putting more guns on school grounds — even in the holsters of people in uniform."
