Rejected petition Install metal detectors in all schools

Every child deserves to feel safe walking into school. Every teacher deserves to teach without fear. Installing metal detectors is a practical, visible step toward making that vision a reality.

More details

The safety of our children and educators must be a non-negotiable priority. Installing metal detectors in all schools is a proactive step toward creating a secure learning environment, free from the threat of weapons and violence. While no single measure can guarantee complete safety, metal detectors serve as a strong deterrent and a visible commitment to protection.
