On Sept 11, 2001, I was a teacher working in a public school in Washington DC, which was a few blocks away from the Capitol and I continue to be disturbed about the total lack of security and concern for the tens of thousands of children who were in public school buildings on that day. There were no National Guard or even local police deployed to protect the children of the city....and to this date there are no electronic systems in place in our schools, such as the ones referred to this article. In fact, to my knowledge, there is even a well publicized emergency plan in place, should such an event occur again....That is my concern as an ordinary citizen who is also threatened by being in proximity to these protected targets of terrorism.....What about us???
