I called my children's school on Friday afternoon to speak to the security guys working the front desk. I didn't think much about doing it before I acted. It was purely an emotional response to the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut that morning.
"I want..to thank you guys..for all that you do, I mean..to keep our kids safe." I sputtered.
They thanked me and told me they would"take anyone down" if they tried to enter the place.
