EXCERPTS: All over the United States, school children are being taken out of their classrooms, put on buses and sent to "alternate locations" during terror drills. These exercises are often called "evacuation drills" or "relocation drills" and they are more than a little disturbing. Sometimes parents are notified in advance where the kids are being taken and sometimes they are only told that the children are being taken to an "undisclosed location". In the years since 9/11 and the Columbine school shootings, there has been a concerted effort to make school emergency drills much more "realistic" and much more intense. Unfortunately, the fact that many of these drills are deeply traumatizing many children does not seem to bother too many people. Do we really need to have "active shooter" drills where men point guns at our kids and fire blanks at them? Do we really need to have "relocation drills" where kids are rapidly herded on to buses and told that they must surrender their cell phones because they will not be allowed to call anyone? Our schools more closely resemble prison camps every single day, and it is our children that are suffering because of it.

Who else is watching this go on? Is it always the same secondary location? If I were going to terrorize someone using their kids it'd be very easy now. Call in a bomb threat and have people waiting at the secondary location, they'll come to you. Just take a couple weeks watching the schools to see how, when & where. easy. If it's traumatizing kids they need to stop, there are enough tramatic events in daily life without terrorizing them at school. If I had a kid and they did this crap they would stop or he'd be elsewhere where it didn't happen. Waste of time they could be learning, gas and young minds being invaded by the government.

just preparing our children for FEMA camps. The TSA has our kids believing it's ok for strangers to touch their genitals.

Yeah the joke that TSA has handled more packages than UPS isn't very funny when it's real. What they have done to some people is criminal.

I hope Napolitano has someone monitoring this particular poll. This is almost as bad as her putting all returning veterans and retirees on a extremist list as possible recruits for the terrorists. The president also cut our military out of the planning and execution phase of actions taken in case of a national emergency where martial law is instituted. Last Executive Order revised and signed by him.

He knows one thing judging from his actions, the Armed Forces will side with the American People and not do anything which violates the oath they all took. That goes for current military forces and all former and retired personnel. The Democrats are just not our cup of tea. They would be better served by a Russian type military....those who follow orders blindly.

I didn't think the military would side with him since they defend the country from threats and he is the worst threat we've had in modern times. He is totally out of line and illegal and should be impeached. Our government representatives are about worthless.
A lot of people seem to think the military is supposed to blindly do his will, illegal orders or not.

Many good points made by others.....but I would just emphasize that parents can be brought into submission if The SS use their kids as hostages; most will/would comply & those few who object can be silently 'exterminated'. This is "just the beginning of sorrows".....as we have been warned about.

The inverse would be the Hitler Youth or the Japanese that used the kids to report on their parents. He's going for one extreme or the other.

in our district, we're spending a lot of money to put locks on the inside of classrooms to allow 'sheltering in place' . the kids are expected to get up against walls, with the teacher locking the door until an 'all clear' is sounded.

evacuating? for what? sounds like a bad idea to me...

This is outrageous! Every parent should be concerned about their children being moved from school grounds to an "undisclosed location" without notification as well as "active shooter" drills that would definately freak the kids out beyond belief.

This really makes me angry, parental rights are non negotiable!

Seems to me there should be a parent notification system so parents will know where their children are and where they can pick them up - it is unacceptable to tell them "undisclosed location" - nope, that will not do at all.

The servants have run amuck these days. I hear the Outback is a good safe place to raise a kid. They won't get their heads screwed on backwards and you don't have to worry so much about the terrorists or the terrorists who would "save" you from the terrorists.

Honestly this sounds like the same dumb idea as the old school bomb drills. They did the same thing every time, Someone calls in a bomb threat, all the kids are herded like cattle to the bleachers on the football field. So now we have all the students and teachers in a confined area where you could easily cause maximum damage with minimal effort. Might as well just have them all go stand at the end of a shooting gallery.

First...give me vouchers. Let me pick where my kids goes to school.

Second, if the parents are not fully informed and sign a field trip form, the kids should NOT leave the school grounds. I certainly would never sign a form letting them take my kids to an undisclosed location. If they did that without my consent I might give them a reason to need evacuations. Don't F with my kids or there will be trouble.

As much as I love the ideals this country was founded on, there's been a gnawing in my stomach. It's been growing over the last few years and I'm not sure how much more I can stand.

In the real world, I tend to fly off the handle very quickly and if 3:45 PM comes and goes without my son coming through the front door, someone's getting a phone call. I'll start with the school and it'll escalate from there. If, for the sake of argument, I'm told my son is on a bus to a undisclosed location... I'll come unglued.

If the government, DHS, or anyone else wants a revolution, let them mess with my kid. I'll fire the first shot.

Apparently, in at least some of these cases it is the state requiring them. It doesn't say that the states are specifying anything in particular...or condoning. Anyone who has kids in school today should be checking with both their district and their state on this.

My suspicions are that it is the local drug enforcement swat teams doing this. If so they are probably getting Federal funding. Just pondering here.
If somebody pointed a gun at my kid, whether it is loaded or not, I would want to know that individuals name.

I am looking further into this and all signs are pointing to them being sponsered by the DHS and some involving many of the agencies (more than 100) under their control. I've found some stuff out on the net and DISENFRANCHISED has posted a video below that I am checking out now.
