Lockers were closed in the Poughkeepsie School District after threats were assessed on social media which sends the message the wrong message. Instead of putting on an offensive show to prove that law enforcement is ready and able to protect our most vulnerable they co warded to an unknown threat that probably was formulated as a sick joke. If this continues more threats will occur and our students will continue to live in a world of fear instead of education. Let our communities learn that the best defense is a good offense with hardened school perimeters and no more gun free zones for those geared to protect us.
