Read all about it It first sounds like an odd proclamation; do not allow schools to proactively prepare for terror attacks. But just a passing moment's reflection on the concept shows why. First, by any standard US students score far behind their counterparts. Either we're all stupid or we're all lazy or we're poorly educated. None of these scenarios will be much helped by terror attack preparation. Second, we must fear a government who has the power to instill fear in small children; fear of terrorists and terrorism, fear of bad people, fear of jews. Fear so easily morphs to hatred. No arachnophobe feels anything less for those daddy long legs they happily drown in the shower. The likelihood that any individual school anywhere will be attacked is so microscopically small, any diversion into terrorism prevention, reaction, whatever, is a complete waste. It's nothing short of a money and power grab by some wing, whether left- or right-wing. If this proposition had any sincerity behind it, they would start by advocating the arming of all teachers with guns, as in Israel. It's been quite effective; no Israeli school has ever been attacked. Given that their schools must be the most terror-targeted in the entire world, it seems Isreal's apporach would be the most effective place to start. It might keep a few thugs home as well so the kids could really learn, which would be one solution to problem A presented above.
