Protecting schools from active assailants is a complex challenge, but how we train staff and students can profoundly impact their preparedness and mental health. Some current practices, like involving students in active shooter drills or using trauma-based methods to train staff, do more harm than good. There’s a better way -- one that builds confidence without creating fear. While high-stress, trauma-based training is effective for military and law enforcement, it is not appropriate for sc...| Campus Safety Magazine
This is my seventh update on the fallout from our ill-considered, dangerous, and criminal response to COVID-19. The truth is becoming clearer with every new study and every new piece of data. Australia and New Zealand responded to COVID with measures designed to force mass vaccination, resulting in enormous financial gains for pharmaceutical companies. This […]| Malcolm Roberts
The South Essex Heckler project has reached the end of the road.

I’m so excited to launch a national campaign to support bookshops throughout lockdown – #SignForOurBookshops. During the last lockdown, bookshops moved mountains to remain operational – taking orders online, or over the phone. They now face a second lockdown in the build-up to Christmas, their busiest sales period. #SignForOurBookshops is a national show of support... Read more »| Holly Bourne

We are all dealing with an existential crisis, and adding partisan agitation to this—on any side—is neither humane nor helpful. First, let […] The post Not Feeding Zombies During Pandemic: Politics Got Nothing to Do With It appeared first on Tessa Fights Robots.| Tessa Fights Robots

While schools face a variety of security threats, none draw the attention of the community quite like an active shooter event. In fact, following an active shooter event in a school many states, local governments, and/or school districts will announce proposed security measures to better protect students, staff, and visitors to schools. While there are innovated security measures proposed, it is well-known that no shooter has breached a locked door. For this reason, this paper seeks to examin...| Journal of Mass Violence Research
