After last week’s shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, parents, pundits and politicians all began demanding that school buildings in Texas and everywhere be made safer.that the shooter was able to enter the building with his small arsenal from a back door that did not lock when a teacher slammed it shut moments earlier. Even in a divided America, one thing we all can agree on is that when an elementary school’s back door is shut it ought to automatically lock.
Those and other details will matter as we all try to find ways to make schools safer without making students feel as if they’re being taught inside of prisons. “Schools likewise should have a single point of entry,” Cruz said during his floor speech at the NRA convention in Houston, “Fire exits should only open out. At that single point of entry, we should have multiple armed police officers, or, if need be, military veterans trained to provide security and keep our children safe.”Of course we want to keep the bad guys out — and some of what Cruz and others have called for makes perfect sense, though he was wrong to dismiss common-sense gun reforms.
