The names Columbine and Virginia Tech have both become tragic shorthand for school shootings in America. In the wake of those shootings, schools have developed a fairly typical lockdown procedure when there's a threat: sound the alarm, call police, lock doors and stay put.

The standard school-lockdown plan is intended to minimize chaos so police arriving on the scene don't shoot the wrong people. Students practice following directions, getting into classrooms and essentially, waiting.

Greg Crane, a former teacher and SWAT officer, notes that even trained police officers miss roughly three-quarters of their shots fired in the line of duty. In contrast, he says, school shooters "don't miss at that high a rate. In fact, they almost hit at that high a rate.

In one school building, Corbett says, 12 students were killed in one room and eight in another. But in a classroom where students barricaded the door, "it was zero," he says. "They made a decision that day, it saved their lives. How many of you want to be in that classroom?"

"Teamwork. Strength in numbers, guys. You don't want two things going at his head, you want 34 things going at his head," Corbett says. "You're gonna be fighting, throwing, screaming, yelling and swarming, getting out of the way, moving."

"Most middle-school kids can't decide between chicken nuggets and pizza for lunch," says school security consultant and writer Ken Trump. "To think that we're gonna put that liability and responsibility in the hands of a seventh-grader is insane."

Many parents feel the same way. Greg Crane's hometown of Burleson, Texas, was the first school district in the country to try A.L.i.C.E.. Some parents supported it, but others revolted and the superintendent pulled the plug. An Alabama district recently started A.L.i.C.E. and is in the middle of a similar controversy.

The number of schools using A.L.i.C.E. training "may continue to grow," Trump says, "until the first child who jumps up at an armed intruder gets killed, and a school official has to explain. I would not want my child to be the first one dead on the classroom floor."

But school policy analyst Trisha Powell Crain sees A.L.i.C.E. training as part of a shift toward more active resistance in crime situations. Before Sept. 11, 2001, Crain says, passengers were advised to comply with hijackers. Self-defense instructors used to tell women to go limp to survive a rape. Today, she says, experts have changed their thinking about how potential victims should respond.

The Portland students represent only one group of a growing number of students who are spotlighting unfair and discriminatory school dress codes. In 2014, New Jersey middle-schoolers, fed up with being shamed for wearing comfortable clothes during warmer weather, launched a campaign under the Twitter hashtag #IAmMoreThanADistraction to challenge schools to focus their attention on reducing objectification of the female body.

Some safety experts have cast doubt on whether this type of training is effective. Even police officers and members of the military sometimes freeze up when confronted with danger. The on-duty armed school resource officer in Parkland waited outside the school, confused and paralyzed with indecision, for minutes as a former student fired an AR-15 inside. Can we really expect seventh-graders to take down a gunman?

At one point, he warns the room that the conversation is going to take a heavy turn. Schools are supposed to be nurturing places where kids have been conditioned not to hit people or fight back, he said. Throw those rules out the window if an attack occurs.

In Papillion-La Vista, for example, middle and high school students and staff are taught that during a lockdown, students should be quiet, move out of sight and keep doors closed. Teachers should lock doors, turn off the lights and keep their class silent.

Michael Dorn, the executive director of Safe Havens International, a campus safety nonprofit, is a former police officer. He and his team have conducted thousands of school safety simulations and trainings.

It almost did happen in Nebraska City in April. The middle and high schools went into lockdown for hours after a student called police and said she was in a hallway at the middle school and planned to shoot her teacher. It turned out to be an empty threat.

While there are stories about children telling jokes and stories at the expense of their abusers, is there any evidence of them fighting back physically? There was undoubtedly an incredible degree of fear these children felt, but what about the older children? I can imagine that after years of abuse there was probably a significant amount of hate towards the staff and likely violent tendencies caused by said abuse, has there ever been any instances of students ganging up on staff and fighting back in that sense? Given that the staff were mostly preists and nuns, I find it hard to believe they were able to control dozens of teenagers who hated them enough to consider physical violence.

I am currently writing a paper about the experiences in residential schools and the affects caused by them (generational trauma, etc) and I'd like to touch on the possibility of "rebellion" in the schools and how that might have made things better/worse during their time there and afterwards once they left.

Earlier this year, Popular Information reported that the Pennridge School Board in Pennsylvania hired Jordan Adams, a right-wing educational consultant, to assist in the development of curriculum and other issues. Adams launched his company, Vermilion Education, in March 2023. A month later, Pennridge agreed to pay $125 per hour for his services. The contract included no limit on the number of hours, no specific deliverables, and no termination date. Pennridge is Adams' only public school client.

The Pennridge School District was an ideal venue for Adams to get paid to impose an ideological agenda. About 50% of voters in the district are registered as Republicans and 34% registered as Democrats. When Pennridge's nine-person school board hired Adams, Republicans controlled eight seats.

In Central Bucks School District, which is located outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Democratic candidates swept the election and gained majority control of the board. This is a stark contrast to the district's 2021 school board elections, which resulted in a 6-3 conservative majority.

Well what do you know? Actual parents who are actual voters in the school district do not like the direction being set by Karens for Fascism and other outsider screamers. They don't like book bans. They don't like anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. They sure as hell don't like the employment of scam artists. And they want their kids taught the real history of the country, not some ideological white washed bullshit from Hillsdale College or PraegerU. This was repeated all across the country.

The election results this week provided the best version of "R", for repudiation. As a Virginian, I'm hoping Youngkin slinks back into private life after his one term. He can go back to life as a vulture capitalist destroying businesses instead of ruining an entire state. ?

Adams holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in political science from Hillsdale College, a private Christian institution that promotes right-wing ideologies, and a master\u2019s degree in humanities from another private conservative school, the University of Dallas. He does not hold any degrees in education. After graduating, Adams returned to Hillsdale College as an employee, where he promoted the 1776 Curriculum, a controversial K-12 course of study.

In an initial presentation in June, Adams provided his recommendations for changes to the school district's social studies curriculum. The curriculum experts who work for the district recommended that first grade social studies focus on \\\"Rules and Responsibilities,\\\" \\\"Geography,\\\" and \\\"Important People and Places.\\\" Adams instead proposed that 6- and 7-year-olds learn \\\"American History: 1492-1787\\\" and \\\"World History: Ancient Near East.\\\" For those recommendations \u2014 and similar suggestions for other grades \u2014 Adams billed the district $7,500.

On July 1, in a private presentation to Moms for Liberty, a far-right organization that pushes for changes in educational policy, Adams described himself as a \\\"fox\u2026in the henhouse.\\\" He bragged that \\\"the right people are freaking out\\\" about his contract with Pennridge schools.

Since then, the Central Bucks School Board has \u201Cimplement[ed] a wave of conservative policies.\u201D According to Forbes, the school board \u201Csuspended a teacher who defended LGBTQ students,\u201D \u201Cbanned pride flags,\u201D and \u201Cimplemented a policy that required the school to out LGBTQ students with a \u2018gender identification procedure.\u2019\u201D This year, Moms for Liberty only officially endorsed one candidate in Bucks County, but a \u201Cvoter guide\u201D that Moms for Liberty provided to citizens earlier this year \u201Crecommended candidates in five districts\u201D in Bucks County. The guide included all five of the Republican candidates in Central Bucks School District, all of whom lost on Tuesday. ff782bc1db
