Do you know where your child is?

What happens if your kid is in school during a "red alert"?

You might want to find out. In one New York school district, apparently they're not being told.

That great protector of national security, the color alert; has evermore refinements within the coding of protection. From a recent memorandum sent to teachers from one school district, the outlined procedure for safety and school protective action plan, reveals the measures that are now official policy. Concerns about red alerts clearly indicate that the district is preparing for the worse. All parents can easily comprehend that their children are subject to rules and regulations concerning conduct, while in school. But how many understand that they may not be able to leave, call home or may well be bused to undisclosed locations?

At stated in the notice to parents, under a Red Alert, categories 3 and 4, No children will be released. Under both designations, the school is locked down, and parents are not able to enter and retrieve their children. Students are refused exit from the school. That’s what is stated in the notice, but what was told to teachers, was withheld from parents. Written by hand as a supplement to the teachers’ version of the notice, specifically says: “Do not share this with parents”.

...We are not talking about an emergency plan based upon threatening circumstances for a specific school. No, what you have is a calculated policy designed to control an entire school district population, based upon arbitrary government alerts, and without any consent from the parties affected. That’s the essence of a police state!
