Even more interesting is the "message" being taught to our "supposed" brightest and best.
1) You are not mature enough to "carry" to protect yourself.
2) WE (the school) will "keep you safe", just follow our orders and all will be well.
3) In the case of "emergency", real or imagined, go hide, lock yourself in and hope someone else will take the risks associated with "threat reduction". (The "...hopefully before the body count gets too high." is implied.)
It's just another manifestation of the concept that throughout your life someone else is tasked with the effort of keeping you safe from every and all "realities of life". Be it parents, school, Government. "We are from the Government and we are here to protect you from......" your individuality if nothing else is available to protect you from. So be good little sheep and live happily ever after.
While "the land of the free" is becoming more questionable every legislative session.... we are selling our individuality, our self reliance, our self responsibility for the false presumption that the Government can keep the realities of life from breaking our little "snow globe" world of warm and fuzzy.
In short, perpetual dependents and perpetual adolescents.
Exactly where our "social elites" and "elected nobility" would prefer us to be.
Seventy years ago the Japanese Imperial Government attacked Pearl Harbor. Yammamato, having had been exposed to our culture at that time, predicted that it would only "tick us off" to the max. Ten years ago a bunch of fanatical Muzzies counted coup on a couple of our largest skyscrapers and it DID "tick us off", but the primary response was for the people in general to run to the Government and beg for protection.
In return we traded some of our sacred "rights" away, got saddled with a most annoying TSA, a Homeland Security Dept. that, I fear, has only just begun to become a severely freedom limiting organization and we started two, probably unnecessary, wars that did little to eliminate the REAL "threat" of Muzzie fanaticism at great cost to the taxpayers.
Can you see the difference between the two incidents? If you can, you understand the "threat" to our Nation, from internal sources. If you can't, well, it IS your Country too. If you are perfectly OK with the direction it is heading, both fiscally as well as freedoms-wise then do nothing and our once great Nation will, inevitably, end up with the Government it richly deserves if the vast majority seeks "safety" rather than freedom.

Fanatics of any sort are dangerous! -GG-
Which part of "... shall NOT be infringed..." confuses you?
Well now, aren't WE a pair, Raggedy Man? (Thunderdome)
