33 people dead (including 1 shooter). 29 injured. Worst school shooting in the history of the United States.

We have got to do something about the rage that teenage boys and young man are striking out with.

And we have got to make sure our kids are safe. Students were not notified until two hours after the first shooting (they were notified by email and IM and phone-tree). TWO HOURS in which students could have gotten away or gotten secured. There is no way to notify students campus-wide that there is crisis.



Please, parents, check the security in your children's schools. What are the notification procedures? How easy is it for strangers to get into buildings? How would students and staff and faculty be notified if another multiple-location shooting like today's happened?? How would students and staff and faculty be notified if there were a real bomb threat or if a plane crashed into a building or if a gas or oil pipeline ruptured. How are students and staff and faculty kept safe?

If your kid goes to kindergarten or elementary school or middle school or high school or college or university -- make sure you know the answers to these questions.
