Dementia

See if you can spot today's word.

"I think we need hardened sites.  We need to let people know.  You come into our schools, you're going to be dead.  If you harden the sites you're not going to have this problem.  We need a hardened school...Everybody agrees on a hard...we have to harden our schools, we have to make sure in a way that doesn't look like they're hardened.  But we have to let the bad guy know that they are hardened.  I'd much rather have a hardened school."

Impotent much?  Let's see how this would work.

1.  Ten-foot wall, barbed wire, guard towers, metal detectors.  (Mexico will pay for them.)  But wait, then the "bad guy" will know, and proceed down the street to the nursing home, the day-care center, the church, or best case scenario, Marco Rubio's house.

2.  Large sign:  "This is a hardened site."  Same problem.

3.  End public education.  (Betsy DeVos is already working on this.)

4.  Some other insane fantasy.

5.  Arm the teachers.  Not all of them, the twenty percent (!) who have been in the military and received weapons training, then become teachers.   This will necessarily include veterans with serious psychological problems like PTSD, the very people you want walking the hallways and patrolling the cafeteria with Glocks.  (Which is more dangerous, an armed biology teacher having a Fallujah flashback or an armed guard who decides not to enter the school while it's under attack?  Because that happened at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas.)

6.  Twenty-fifth Amendment.
