School Emergency Plan Teaches Kids To 'Strike Back'
Georgetown officials are considering a plan that would have fourth- and fifth-graders trained to help fight off an armed gunman should one enter their elementary school. FOX25's Margie O'Brien has the story.

(watch the video)

Yes, this is in Massa-fucking-chusetts (actually right down the road from me AAMOF). Teaching kids to do something other than rolling over and hoping to be killed last. What a concept. Next thing you know, they'll be suggesting radical concepts like incarcerating career criminals and reviving ol' sparky...

This is something I've been saying for a while. Teaching the kids to huddle in a corner and do nothing else is short-sighted at best, downright criminal at worst. All that does is provide nice little stationary targets for a madman to pick off at his leisure. Throw stuff, rush the gunman, run like a scared jackrabbit; in short, do something - anything - other than cower and wait your turn to die.

IOW, fighting back might get you killed. Not fighting back will get you killed.

That is all.
