[Beating Dead Horses]
In the wake of recent school shootings, a candidate for Oklahoma state superintendent of education has announced a bold new proposal to keep kids safe without spending more on school security. Republican Bill Crozier suggests that students can defend themselves from school shooters by using textbooks to stop bullets fired at them. “If elected” he promises that thick used textbooks will be placed at the ready under every school desk.

Finally, the republicans find a use for books!

Wait, you have to see their video demonstration!

By the way, this is probably a textbook example of non-gun-safety.




 

Typical partisan crap...

...attack a solution put forth by someone without giving a better one yourself. What would your solution be? Would you make guns illegal so that only the criminals have them? More people get killed each year by cell phone users while driving. I'll be you would make cell phone usage while driving illegal. Go one better, make cars illegal. After all, they do cause polution too. I think that giving our kids the means to defend themselves is a decent start to the problem. What would you suggest? Oh that's right, you're only good at ridicule.

Well, the site's name does kind of clue you in to the fact that the site's purpose is merely to ALERT the reader to bullshit. If it were bsalertwithalternativesolutions.com you might have a leg to stand on. But to go from attacking the poster for pointing out what has got to be one of the DUMBEST things I've ever heard (unless you honestly think that instructing our kids to hold thick books in front of themselves while under fire from legal or illegal weapons is a good idea) to figuring they want to ban cars is kind of a jump.
