“The U.S. Department of Education’s ‘live-shooter’ section doesn’t recommend that schools arm teachers or employ armed guards. It doesn’t even advise schools to add door locks for classrooms. Instead, the section counsels teachers and students to ‘run,’ ‘hide’ and then ‘fight’ — but only ‘if neither running nor hiding is a safe option.’ Arne Duncan, the Secretary of Education, does not explain how this guidance differs from the very unsuccessful actions attempted by the 26 victims of Adam Lanza, the lone gunman who attacked Sandy Hook Elementary School. Twenty of those victims were children who were six and seven years old.”
