The school, Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC, has 11 security officers and is seeking to hire a new police officer as we speak. …
If you dismiss this by saying, “Of course they have armed guards — they get Secret Service protection,” then you’ve missed the larger point.
The larger point is that this is standard operating procedure for the school, period. And this is the reason people like NBC’s David Gregory send their kids to Sidwell, they know their kids will be protected from the carnage that befell kids at a school where armed guards weren’t used (and weren’t even allowed).
Shame on President Obama for seeking more gun control and for trying to prevent the parents of other school children from doing what he has clearly done for his own. His children sit under the protection guns afford, while the children of regular Americans are sacrificed.
Draw your own conclusions.
He’s the President which makes him and his family a target from crazy extremist, especially these days. I can’t believe this article.
Hi Theresa: You can ‘t have it both ways. Either the security is there or it’s not. If it’s there it’s either Secret Service of it’s not. What the story is telling you is that yes the security is there and it’s not Secret Service.
