The President's Daughters' School has No Armed Guards
The Washington Post
The National Rifle Association is airing a television ad (and has on its website this four-minute video) that says the private school that President Obama’s daughters attend, Sidwell Friends School, has 11 armed guards. It doesn’t.
In fact, it has no armed guards. My Post colleague Glenn Kessler, who writes The Fact Checker column, wrote about the issue here and quoted Ellis Turner, associate head of Sidwell Friends, as saying: “Sidwell Friends security officers do not carry guns.”
Parents and students say they have never seen one either.
Yet they are protected by the Secret Service.
ReplyDeleteYou beat me to it, Rev Jim. Ofcourse any child of any president has several USSS "bodyguards". However, the LWLs don't take that into account. Funny how a lot of the elitist types, who by the way publicly claim how much they abhor weapons & guns, turn around and hire armed guards for their protection. Against who?
DeleteThat's part of the pro-gun bullshit right there. Most "elite" types and most gun-control types don't abhor weapons. We abhor weapons in the wrong hands.
DeleteYep, that's the same thing the Brits said, guns only in the hands of those wearing a government uniform. We won't let that history repeat itself.

Armed guards or not, with the elitist clientele they have catered to over the years there can be no doubt that they have extra-extraordinary security measures in place far beyond any typical government indoctrination center.

Ha! Stupidity on the part of the NRA. You'd think they would do a tiny bit of fact checking first.
