Student body cards are required for admission to campus football games. Lift tickets are scanned through the pockets of skiers’ parkas or pants. Storage facilities are gated, requiring a motorist only to hold an unprinted card before a scanner prior to entering. Scanning equipment and software may cost some money, but once it has been installed, creating the individual cards is inexpensive. If students are to be educated, they need to be alive first. You cannot have a school if 1) if no one goes to it and 2) if people cannot learn there. I favor gun control! But we don’t have that. Meanwhile, I do not favor dead students and teachers. I don’t think anyone favors that except killers. If the government won’t install this equipment, is there a billionaire around who will buy it for California public school districts and students? I would think that the fence-builders within each community might be willing to form a consortium to donate non-chain link fencing to school districts. Spread the cost. Isn’t it worth that for our next generation? Where’s the love? It’s simple love, simple logic. Â
