Outcry after Uvalde pressures schools to keep kids safe

Associated Press  

UVALDE, Texas — When the shooting began at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Mario Jimenez’s son was in the classroom next door. “How are you going to make sure I don’t have to spend 77 minutes bleeding out on the school floor like my little sister did?” At the same meeting, Rachel Martinez declared herself unwilling to send her daughter, Layla, back to school after the armed intruder snuffed out 21 lives — and any confidence she had that Layla would be safe. “When you go home and lock your doors tonight, remember: That shouldn’t be a luxury.” The vast majority of U.S. school systems conduct lockdowns and active-shooter drills that, in some cases, include simulated gunfire and blood as children crouch quietly out of sight. Elizabeth Ruiz, the mother of three children in the Uvalde schools, said the students at Robb Elementary did “so many, so, so many” lockdowns this year but believes improving the physical safety of the building — having a single point of entry and requiring scannable identification — would do more than potentially frightening drills. “It’s about doing the right things that make a difference.” Jimenez worries that continuing to practice active-shooter drills will further traumatize his son and other children who lived through the shooting, “because in their minds they’re probably already thinking, ‘This isn’t going to protect me.’” Jimenez isn’t impressed by the school district’s plans to fix locks and install cameras.
