SENATE DEMOCRATS BLOCK BILLS TO PROTECT CHILDREN AND SAFEGUARD SCHOOLS​

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senate Democrats blocked the Securing Our Schools Act, a bill by U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) to improve school security and access to student mental health resources. He also blocked the Protect Our Children’s Schools Act, which would have allowed schools to use unspent previously appropriated federal COVID-19 education-related funding to improve school security.
On the Senate floor, Sen. Cruz said:
“There have been too damn many mass shootings. With kids going back in school all across the country, we need to again revisit what we can do to keep them safe from mass shooters.
“Their parents are scared and they they've expressed concerns that the security measures at schools and Uvalde haven't improved enough to make them feel safe. Today, I want to put forth two bills that would address this problem inevitably when a mass murder occurs.
“This bill would be the most serious, the most significant, the most major investment in school security Congress has ever enacted. This bill would double the number of police officers on campus.”
In response to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) objecting, Sen. Cruz said:
“What we just saw reveals that the Democrats have one objective when a mass murder happens, and that is to take away the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. That is always, always, always their solution. Never mind that it doesn’t work. … If another lunatic attacks a school and there’s not a police officer at the front door to stop it, remember right now. Remember this moment when the Democrats said, ‘No, we will not protect our kids.’”
The Securing Our Schools Act would:

• Invest $15 billion in school safety personnel, doubling the number of school resource officers
• Invest $10 billion to hire 15,000 school-based mental health professionals
• Increase the physical security of schools through grants
• Triple FEMA’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program to help secure schools

Sen. Cruz has a longstanding history of advocating for the security of students by improving school safety. In 2013, Sen. Cruz introduced Cruz-Grassley, a comprehensive effort to make schools and communities safer by simultaneously targeting violent criminals and safeguarding the Second Amendment. Earlier this year, Sen. Cruz introduced the Cruz-Barrasso Safe Kids, Safe Schools, Safe Communities Act to protect the Second Amendment, improve firearm safety, and prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands.

dems are to busy worried about trans rights

 

[Charlottedawgs]

For mass shootings the Republican Party has blamed: mental health, video games, family upbringing, absent fathers, single moms, decline in religion, pornography, society, school security, too many doors - unarmed teachers, gun free school zones, ending school prayer, lack of surveillance, "wokeness" - marijuana, one Republican blamed abortion, Democrats wanting to "take away" the 2nd Amendment and Joe Biden.

But do you know who the Republican Party will NOT blame: the NRA, unfettered access to firearms, their own lack of gun reform. Oh, but they'll ban books in heartbeat. Pass laws violating a child's 1st Amendment rights forbidding them from talking about gender pronouns, gender identity, trans/gay topics, and their menstrual cycle.

Instead of sending wasted money over to the ukraine, why don’t we try this out. See if it works. We know praying to god, allah, or joe Biden doesn’t work. We are too busy protecting another country’s children. Blame that. There could certainly be some gun control in this country. It could be better. But there will always be guns. So be better and be ok if you have someone full time protecting school kids.

The reason why you have some adults that don’t want teachers or any adult talking about pronouns or kid’s sexual orientation is just that. They are kids. And a lot of adults would beat your ass, if you ever crossed that line with a young kid. Give me a break. Try it and some part of you or the constitution will be violated.

Your prose drips with ignorance. Pretty sure someone willing to shoot a child doesn't care what kind of gun laws are in place. But continue believing all your CNN/MSNBC talking points. And refresh my memory: Who has been suppressing free speech lately?

That is why I agree with the Republicans.

And by the way, abortion, as in some odd promotion of rights, is an indicator of the lack of care for sanctity of life. You bet it matters in regards to school shootings and shootings in our cities.

Funny you mentioned the NRA. Unlike our government, they are involved in promoting gun safety, yet they are bad. You logic is amazing.
