Are kids not worth a few thousand dollars???

[Richard Crowe]

Scenario:

You live in an area called "Tornado Alley" and your town has already experienced two devastating F-4 and F-5 tornados over the last 12-years.

Would you not expect your schoold to be equipped with tornado safe shelters or non-flooding basements?

Or... are not the lives of Oklahoma kids worth the few thousand dollars it would take to protect them?

Along the same lines...  A non-intrudable security door would have protected the kids at the Sandy Hook, Conn., Elementary School.  I don't notice any grass roots campaigns to install that type of security in the schools in my local area - how about yours?

IMO, schools have a fiduciary responsibility to protect the children whom we give over into their custody.  I frankly think that the poor families who lost kids in Moore would have a solid civil action case against the school, school board, and virtually any other bureaucracy which has to do with school because of the disgraceful lack of security against tornados...

And... if (or should I say when) the next Sandy Hook happens; if that school doesn't have a proper security door in place; there should be criminal charges brought!

I was thinking the same thing about the Moore schools. They should have had a secure shelter already in place given the history of tornadoes in the area.

As far as the school issue, all I've seen in Oregon is more evidence of how unprepared they are...
