RUSH: Not long ago CNN reported something. This is kind of schadenfreude. It\u2019s not really schadenfreude, but I could see if some people reacted to it that way. Since the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, there has been a lot of action taken to make schools more secure and to reduce the risk of another mass shooting.<\/p>\n

And all of this was demanded, was it not? I mean, this school shooting for many was the tipping point. We\u2019ve gotta deal with this now. We can\u2019t just treat these as one-offs. We\u2019ve gotta deal with it, and so everybody got in gear. And I\u2019m not talking about the students. I\u2019m talking about the adults, policy makers, everybody wanted to be seen as being first to have substantive ideas.<\/p>\n

\"\"And a lot of people started working feverishly to come up with ideas, and many of those ideas have been implemented. And, in fact, many of them have been implemented at the Marjory Stoneman school in Parkland. Now, you would think that\u2019s good, right? I mean, normally government and other agencies operate at a snail\u2019s pace. Here are just some of the things that have seen either the beginning of quick action on or actual substantive action having taken place.<\/p>\n

In addition to bans on bump stocks, more money has been made immediately available for armed school resource officers. Despite the debate about it, the fact is that there are many more security people in schools now who are armed. They\u2019re called school resource officers. And in fact they were at Parkland. These guys just didn\u2019t go in when the shooting started. They stayed outside.<\/p>\n

In addition to the armed school resource officers, perimeter security measures are now taking place, being set up around many schools. There are even some new systems allowing for the anonymous reporting of students or anybody else who might be exhibiting dangerous behavior or making threats or what have you. And these systems, in many places, have already been put in place. They\u2019ve already started.<\/p>\n

Now, individually these things are not being reported on. You see, many of these improvements are not being reported on at all because as far as the Drive-Bys are concerned they want you to think that nothing positive is happening. They want you to think the only positive happening is all the students and marching and raising hell. But they want you to think the NRA is succeeding in making sure that nobody does anything.<\/p>\n

So they continue to portray the students as beating their heads against the wall. These brave and courageous students are doing everything they can to improve schools, but the NRA won\u2019t let anybody make any changes whatsoever. That\u2019s the news! That\u2019s the narrative that\u2019s out there, when in fact all kinds of improvements have been implemented and are being implemented at schools all over the country.<\/p>\n

\"\"Specific ID cards have been generated to make sure that unauthorized people looking to get in, and not just the school, but the campus, can be identified quickly as frauds and fakes and tossed. Now, we haven\u2019t gotten so far as metal detectors yet, but many schools are looking at it. Now, you would think that all of these relatively soon after the fact improvements and all of these responses and all of these changes would be a positive, would you not?<\/p>\n

You would think that all of this would be seen as good. Never mind the fact that the media is still trying to create the impression that nobody\u2019s listening to the kids. That nobody\u2019s paying attention to the kids. The kids are doing yeoman work getting noticed, they\u2019re trying as hard as they can to save lives but nobody\u2019s listening because the NRA will not let anybody listen. That\u2019s bunk. A lot of serious improvements have been implemented, and many of them at the school in Parkland.<\/p>\n

And so you would think that the students would be happy about this, would you not? Would you think they\u2019d be happy? I mean, this is pretty fast action here. This is a pretty serious response in a relatively short period of time. Well, CNN says that the students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas are not happy. That many of them are complaining that they are returning to a prison rather than a school. Here\u2019s from CNN\u2019s report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School return to class Monday, their first day back since organizing one of the largest youth-led protests in US history. But these teenagers won\u2019t be returning to a normal high school experience. Instead, they\u2019ll be met with strict security measures which are intended to protect them from another mass shooting but have some students feeling as if they\u2019ll be learning in a prison. ‘Going to school is really so hard, and now it\u2019s going to be so much worse,\u2019 said Isabelle Robinson, a senior. ‘A lot of the people I\u2019ve talked to are dreading going back.\u2019<\/p>\n

Isabelle Robinson said to CNN, “‘It feels like being punished. It feels like jail, being checked every time we go to school.\u2019 When classes first resumed two weeks after the shooting, Thompson told students not to bring backpacks at all while they focused on their emotional health and not the curriculum.”<\/p>\n

And that didn\u2019t sit well. In fact, I think even Camera Hogg complained about that, didn\u2019t he? Well, we don\u2019t need backpack control. We need gun control. Somebody was complaining. I\u2019m not sure who. So, anyway, this is exactly how it works. We have people taking this seriously and trying to respond with what are considered to be substantive steps to protect the students. The media is not reporting that.<\/p>\n

The media wants you to think that nobody\u2019s listening to the students, which, by the way, if that\u2019s the case, then that warrants the students continuing to shout, does it not? If the students are organizing and if they\u2019re marching and if they\u2019re trying and if they care and if they\u2019re trying to save lives, but the NRA is preventing anything that would improve the circumstance, then that is a license for the kids to keep screaming, is it not?<\/p>\n

\"\"And so here you have an activist media, to which truth is the furthest concern, trying to present a narrative where the kids are being ignored, not taken seriously, not being listened to, schools are not being made safer, and yet students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas are telling CNN they feel like they\u2019re going back to a prison, not the school.<\/p>\n

What to make of this? There is a greater security presence. There aren\u2019t any metal detectors yet, but they have taken steps to make sure that there are armed people close by, IDs to make sure that only legitimate students and qualified personnel get not just in the school, but on the campus. But what isn\u2019t happening? What has not happened? Come on, Snerdley, tell me, what is the one thing that hasn\u2019t happened? Here you have a bunch of serious steps to increase and ensure the safety of students at the school — they\u2019re not happy — why?<\/p>\n

Because there hasn\u2019t been any action on gun control, because nobody has been forced to give up their guns, because the NRA has not been ripped, emasculated, and criticized. And because since nobody has had to give up their guns, since none of the law-abiding have had to surrender their guns, then it doesn\u2019t matter what security measures are made, doesn\u2019t matter how they\u2019ve been improved, our school is a prison. We want guns taken away. We don\u2019t want any of this other stuff.<\/p>\n

And yet this is the stuff that\u2019s gonna make the school safer, and it doesn\u2019t get much support, at least from the people CNN found. I\u2019m sure you could find people that are very happy about this. CNN, the Drive-By Media just isn\u2019t gonna find \u2019em. But I find it fascinating. “I feel like we\u2019re going back to a prison, not a school.” Well, that\u2019s what\u2019s required. It\u2019s not a prison. They\u2019re just taking steps to make sure that the next psycho doesn\u2019t get in there with a gun. “No. To stop that you need to take away the guns.” No. That wouldn\u2019t accomplish what you want. You\u2019re only dealing with the law-abiding. So that\u2019s the latest evolution on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
