or a high-security military emplacement. The dehumanization isn’t offset by the small increase in safety (seriously, statically the vast majority of kids will be just fine).

My daughter goes to school in a non-traditional campus spread over several very busy downtown city blocks, surrounded by restaurants, offices, gov’t buildings, and a couple of museums. Because of this all the kids must wear lanyards with IDs which are constantly being left at home to be frantically delivered by harried parents in the mornings. It’s a shitshow.
