🛡️ Protecting Our Schools: Real Security, Not Political The
✅ The Solution: Layered, Proactive, Technology-Driven School Defense
I support bringing to scale what companies like 3D Response Systems are already proving works in the real world.
Their layered school protection platform is non-lethal, non-political, and already deployed in American schools.
Core components include:
- 🔐 Remote Lockdown Capabilities: Lanyards and magnetized lockdown tools to secure classrooms instantly.
- 🛡️ Ballistic Protection: Reinforced doors, windows, and panic room designs to delay intruders.
- 📡 Instant Emergency Alerts: Integrated systems that notify police and EMS in seconds, not minutes.
- 🤝 First Responder Integration: Training and real-time location systems that coordinate with law enforcement on site.
- 🧠 Live-Action Drills and AI Simulation Tools: To keep staff prepared without trauma-based fear training.
This isn’t just security—it’s survivability. These tools save time, and in an active threat scenario, seconds save lives.
💰 Funding It: Ending Waste and Redirecting Priorities
We send $75 billion a year to foreign nations, waste billions on unaccountable programs, and protect bureaucrats with 24/7 armed security.
But when it comes to protecting our kids, we’re told there’s no money.
That’s why I’ve proposed the D.O.G.E. Initiative — the Department of Government Efficiency, which will:
- Audit waste across every federal agency
- Identify overlapping programs, outdated grants, and inflated contractor costs
- Redirect funds toward state-led school safety initiatives
- Create a Federal School Protection Fund for districts ready to implement real systems now
If we can audit the Pentagon, we can audit the Department of Education—and we should.
🔗 How It Will Work: A Federal-State Partnership
As your U.S. Senator, I’ll introduce legislation to:
- Establish a D.O.G.E.-certified funding mechanism to support school safety upgrades in all 50 states.
- Create a school safety block grant program to let local districts choose solutions that fit their campus needs—including ballistic protection, surveillance, live-drill training, and rapid lockdown tech.
- Offer federal match funding to states who pass similar accountability measures and commit to layered security solutions.
- Protect parental rights and teacher autonomy while defending school campuses like we do military bases.
📢 No More Excuses. We Protect Congress with Armed Officers—Our Children Deserve Better.
- This is not about arming teachers.
- This is not about banning firearms.
- This is not about “feeling safe.” It’s about being safe.
We can secure every school in America without creating fear, infringing rights, or turning campuses into prisons.
We just need the courage to act—and leaders who put our children above political convenience.
"Our kids don’t need more talking points. They need bullet-resistant doors, live-linked comms to police, and schools that are prepared—not paralyzed."
