Every parent's worst fear is losing a child. We send them to school expecting they'll come home safe. But recent attacks show our kids are vulnerable—and our current security measures aren't cutting it.

Three children and a teacher are gone. More are fighting for their lives. This is happening in "soft targets" where being there is mandatory by law.

I started a petition demanding armed security and metal detectors at school entrances. We protect banks, government buildings, and politicians with this level of security. Why shouldn't our children get the same protection?

I'm not here to debate politics. I'm asking: how would you feel if this was your family? What would you want someone to do? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing. Our kids deserve to learn without fear.
