dsayers Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 From the article: making it virtually impossible for an intruder to break through If a human made it, a human can unmake or break it. This addresses the symptom, not the problem. Which is ironic because between being funded by stolen monies, children being placed there against their will and against best practices, and being subjected to other victims of these same aggressions, these schools ARE part of the problem. I'm all for making schools look more like the prisons they're meant to be. This just means the next generation will be less likely to accept the lies they're fed. It really sucks that people have to suffer in the meantime. I would give them credit for funding the project voluntarily, but they forgot to get the consent of the children who will be intimidated and locked down by these things. I only glossed over the second half, but I have to give credit to the author for pointing out the political motive and the interests in parties involved. It's like seeing a whiteboard representation of a football play showing how complex something that's over in a moment really is.

And it was pointed out the barriers might be used off hours by bullies/predators to trap a victim. You make a good point about just being honest about the whole thing, the prisons meant to be.
