Iamhunter I think you are missing the point about locking the strangers out and not locking the kids in. Your comments regarding "locking them in as a means to an end" is a fallacy, its not related. They are not locking the kids in, I don't think you understand that, besides it would be a huge fire and safety hazard to lock the kids in. Also when you compare Highschool to Elementary or Middle School you are comparing apples and oranges when it comes to the safety of kids. The cognitive abilities are smaller kids are vastly different than older kids.

I'm going to assume you don't have kids. If you had kids you would understand the concern a little better. What happened to his daughter is completely unacceptable and the security of smaller children is a primary concern for parents. As a parent we have to be able to trust that the schools are not only going to ensure their education but their safety as well.

If society was harsher on criminals that harm children things would be different. But because of bastard organizations like the All Criminal Liberation Union (ACLU) and other Amnesty groups these criminals know they have a better chance of avoiding persecution. The solution is simple, cut their dicks off or kill them. Then we could leave the schools wide open and not have to worry.

Refryguy, I get it.

But like you said, the problem isn't schools, it's with society.

If people focused more on fixing societal problems, and less on pursuing band-aid type fixes, we might actually get somewhere.

Otherwise things just get worse and worse.

I thank you all for you thoughts. I received a call from a Detective with the Boulder Police Department following up and I hope to speak to her today. What's even more disturbing is that the Head of Boulder County School Security has not found the time to return my call requesting a conversation and follow up meeting. I will leave him another message today.

What is obvious to me is that the school understands that Kindergarten aged children should never be in the halls alone, that's why they have bathrooms inside the classroom. However, being that they were in Music class they seem to have "relaxed" this basic understanding. Then they compounded the problem by the Music teacher simply not identifying the "person" right then and there. They then erred again by emailing the principal who was off site and not calling the Boulder Police.

Again, thanks for your thoughts.

Public schools are government schools, which means the government runs them. The schools cannot, should not, and will not protect your child. They do not deserve to train your children. You are the only person that can provide that for your son. My educating them yourself, your children will be much safer, smarter, and when they're grown you won't have to wonder what sort of creature they are a product of. They will reflect your character rather than that of their peers.

Here I am radical again
