What to do about school shootings?

"Hold up textbooks as shields", says Bill Crozier, a Republican candidate for Oklahoma State Superintendent of Schools.

Oh yeah.  That's going to be REALLY effective.  Maybe the shooters will laugh hard enough not to think of shooting where the textbook ISN'T ... even assuming you can find enough eight-inch-thick textbooks to give every kid one the first day a wacko comes in with a rifle.  Oh, wait, that already happened.  Several times.  Silly me.

An Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokesman was skeptical.

"He probably needs to take a look at some ballistics tests," Lt. Pete Norwood said.

Yeah.  What he said....
