Texas Lt. Gov. wants to regulate doors after another school shooting

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) suggested the existence of “too many entrances and too many exits” in schools may lead to such shootings

Said Patrick: “We have to look at the design of our schools moving forward and retrofitting schools that are already built… there are too many entrances and too many exits to our over 8,000 campuses in Texas. There aren’t enough people to put a guard at every entrance and exit…maybe we need to look at limiting the entrance and exits into our schools so that we can have law enforcement looking at the people coming in through one or two entrances.”

He added: “We’re gonna have to be creative. We’re gonna have to think out of the box.”

The Lt. Gov is actually making a fair point that’s valid for most any American school. It might very well make sense to have fewer entrances - make those guarded, and the remaining doors are alarmed emergency egress-only designs.

Most Courtrooms and Federal buildings are layed out like that currently.
