=== Alice Training Program (03:07) ===

[00:00:00]  This is Jakari Jackson for Infowars.com.
[00:00:02]  Now something that's very important to us in this country is the safety of our school children.
[00:00:07]  Understandably so.
[00:00:07]  But we can't all agree on how best to protect them.
[00:00:10]  And now we have this article.
[00:00:12]  Alabama Middle School Principal Tells Kids to Bring Hand Goods to Class and Throw Them at Possible Gunmen.
[00:00:17]  Here's a note that a parent received from the school.
[00:00:20]  And this is W.F. Burns Middle School.
[00:00:22]  And we'll show you a little bit of this training.
[00:00:24]  It's called the Alice Training Program.
[00:00:26]  I'm hearing a gun.
[00:00:29]  To repeat, there is a gun that can be two more followed moving toward the main hall.
[00:00:32]  Holy crap, they got a gun!
[00:00:38]  Oh my God!
[00:00:41]  Terrible!
[00:00:42]  Wait a minute, that's not how I'm supposed to go.
[00:00:50]  You said they should keep moving and throw things.
[00:00:53]  They didn't do either of those things.
[00:00:55]  No, they followed their natural instinct to hide.
[00:00:57]  And what did that make them?
[00:00:58]  Saving duck.
[00:01:01]  Bye.
[00:01:02]  Right, and sitting ducks makes easy targets, and we don't want to make anything easy for the intruder.
[00:01:08]  Can we try again?
[00:01:09]  - Absolutely.
[00:01:10]  - Yay! - He's wearing a black trench coat with an orange ski mask and carrying a gun.
[00:01:20]  I repeat, there is a gun that made a shooter's hallway moving toward the main hall.
[00:01:24]  - Boy crap, I had a gun! - And this is this particular program.
[00:01:39]  They don't do this at every school, but this school is participating in this program.
[00:01:43]  And while I do applaud them for not being sitting ducks and actively trying to defend themselves, I think a much better strategy would be to simply arm the teachers.
[00:01:51]  You have the principal.
[00:01:53]  You have the janitor.
[00:01:54]  Maybe there's a locked cabinet, a gun case someplace where a teacher has an access key.
[00:02:00]  Or in some places, like Harold ISD in Texas, they are...
[00:02:08]  Every one of the plans in the United States and schools' emergency plans are to lock the doors and hide the kids.
[00:02:16]  Well, that was disturbing to us because we're 30 minutes from law enforcement.
[00:02:20]  We had no way to protect ourselves, and there wasn't anybody around to take care of us.
[00:02:26]  We were our first responders.
[00:02:28]  I came up with a plan, and the plan has been on the news a lot.
[00:02:32]  It's a pretty self-explanatory week.
[00:02:34]  They have to have a CHL. We approve them.
[00:02:38]  The board approves them individually.
[00:02:39]  We undergo some extra training.
[00:02:41]  And then we use frangible ammunition, which, you know, breaks apart when it hits hard objects, to avoid ricocheting.
[00:02:48]  And to me, that's a much better plan than having your kids throw canned goods.
[00:02:51]  Once again, you know, kids protect yourself most definitely.
[00:02:54]  But if you have armed teachers...
[00:02:56]  Whether it's a teacher that carries concealed or they have some type of gun case, like I said, the principal or the janitor, maybe you have a few of these scattered around the building.
[00:03:03]  If there is a scenario, you would be better able to defend yourselves.
