It probably wouldn't fly as a federal plan to do anything but make funding available (schools are very locally controlled AFAIK), but certainly seems possible.

It probably wouldn't fly as a federal plan to do anything but make funding available (schools are very locally controlled AFAIK), but certainly seems possible. Not likely, though - schools are underfunded already and always the first target for cuts, so I can't see support for extra spending on them. The most politically influential sections of the population don't send their kids to public school anyway, do you think they care? They do own shares of MIC corporations, though. I also suspect some would oppose armed guards on the grounds that they would be more likely to harm students than protect them, and making schools even more like prisons won't look great.
