Great article. 
   
   It is well past time that a program like this is implemented. I've always believed it better to teach our kids tools that help them stand up for themselves and protect themselves whether it be a scoop bully or an active shooter. 
    For far too long our school systems have only taught our kids how to report the bully. How to bend over backwards to make sure and not be aggressive or hurt someone's feelings. Everybody gets a trophy. 

    There have always been, and always will be,  natural born leaders in any society. Our schools have been trying to break those future leaders in any way possible so the followers don't "feel bad". 

    Those that feel more comfortable cowering in the corner to be shot may still do do, but I think it's great to teach those who would put others safety above their own the tools and tactics to do just that. 

      It only takes a "few brave young men and women" to thwart a bloody rampage.
