I don’t think it’s about trying to actually address the problem ina meaningful way for anti-2nd legislators, it’s about criminalizing their political opposition.

It would be impossible to put a guard at every entrance or even 1 per building. Your idea would probably work at most schools, wouldn't have worked at mine.

There is a negative relationship between education and police. People of color, who don't trust police, and who are allied with Democrat politicians, don't really want police in schools (I'm a moderate Democrat - a dying breed! I'm also a teacher). The official term is "school to prison pipeline." This looks at POC receiving much harder punishments for the same activities in school compared to white kids who are let off with a slap. This often comes down to white parents yell louder and appeal school discipline. POC who receive OSS numerous times eventually drop out, and this leads to higher crime rates.

You want a good read, check out the ongoing problem in Spokane WA. Spokane Public Schools vs Spokane PD & City Council. City Council asked FBI to get involved. SPS has a non written policy "do not contact the police." The front page headlines in Spokane could be many a district in this state. Teachers of both political parties don't feel safe, but this is a top down initiative starting in the state capitol. One veteran teacher said, "We let the inmates run the asylum."
