I'd like to see a lot more media focus on the teachers.
Many of them successfully hid their classes, misled the killer, and were murdered. Unarmed, untrained for this sort of thing, yet died saving the children in their charge. It doesn't get much more heroic than that.

I've always thought the locked school doors and lockdown drills were overkill, but this incident shows I was probably wrong about that.

The teachers and administrators were true heroes. They bravely sacrificed themselves to protect those less able to protect themselves.
I wonder if republicans will reinstate teachers' pay and benefits in light of this. Naw.
