Here’s what Alabama reporter Gillian Brooks said about the new ‘rapid deploy safe room system’.
Cullman City Schools are minutes away from unveiling the rapid deploy safe room system. The room that extends from a whiteboard is meant to protect students and staff in emergencies such as an active shooter or severe weather. pic.twitter.com/mEOnYBe9uz

And this is the heart of it, the video in action.
Here is the safe room in action! While it’s simple to put in place, both teachers with one in their classroom said they keep them set up and students use them as sensory or hang out rooms https://t.co/QGDh2gFxj1 pic.twitter.com/5FEgGTNt1L

It’s crazy that we’re literally building bulletproof classrooms instead of just changing gun regulations. https://t.co/H04csndmNA

Alabama is deploying safe rooms in schools while banning books in schools. The idea seems to be that kids can survive mass school shootings but not reading The Bluest Eye or a Brave New World.

America. Where schools have assault-proof rolling walls but can’t manage supplies for the kids or a living wage for the teachers.

How about a yearly gun tax to pay for this so the parents of endangered children aren’t paying to support under-regulation

As a teacher I’m of the opinion that if ballistic shelters start to make sense something is deeply deeply wrong pic.twitter.com/l2cTLm8RZC

That’s cool. Kids at my school all carry around the ballistic shields from Rainbow Six: Siege and form a phalanx when the teacher whistles the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Anything at all, no matter how ridiculous, to avoid properly regulating guns.

One more question …
These will be available to all schools free including the ones in poor districts? You know the ones without AC, clean drinking water & where the books are so outdated the last president is Clinton? No?
So glad rich kids will be safe🙄

To be fair, the rich kids have always been safe. Thats part of why nothing has changed.

To conclude …
Just imagine if our classrooms alone were the safe rooms…..
