a mobile app has a lot more functionality and can prevent false alarms that are common with panic buttons on a lanyard.

Everyone carriers a cell phone with them everywhere. They find it more important to have than any other object (even a school ID). By utilizing a cell phone for a panic alert system for staff, the entire building is safer.

Cell phones are like wallets - everyone remembers to bring them so they are at hand during an emergency.

Not nearly as much as common knowledge that schools are protected by lots of teachers with guns and the training to use them to quickly end threats to students. The CPS Board of Ed is putting our children at greater risk by not implementing such a policy. But that's what to expect from liberals.

Maybe Adam can dream up a better solution than a good gal with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun while he is sleeping.

In fact I can. Neither carry a gun. Or wait and see what happens when that gun a teacher has is misplaced or just taken from them and used in that classroom.

I put more faith in people, not an app, for a child's safety. Cell phones should be banned in school. I might compromise if cell phones where locked in a locker (muted) and/or a zero tolerance policy for cell phones in the classroom. In-between classes, lunch, etc is OK.

The Constitution should be the bedrock of our democracy, not a 50.000001% out-of-state dark money, pay petition gathers and buy an election with false advertising gimmick. It should take way more signatures to get on the ballot and 75% of the vote during a presidential election for a change. FJB

It should be made more difficult to amend, this will preserve it's strength.

Grabbing power away from the out-of-state dark money liberals who can't get their simps elected to the legislature and giving power back to the people where it belongs.

Because the Republicans want to control the voters instead of the voters controlling the government.

You can't possibly believe that. Everyone knows these initiative petitions are bought and paid for by out-of-state special interests who are very well funded. Constitutions should only be amended on rare occasions and it should be difficult to do, not easy to buy.

AlGore was RIGHT! Western capitalists, with their evil corporations, have caused massive man-made global warming, resulting in drought across USA. They must immediately stop producing all greenhouse gases, retire internal combustion engines & give lots of $$$ to liberals to fix the problem. FJB
