A number of Republicans have suggested that one way to make schools safer with the rash of school shootings is to limit the number of doors to a school.

If you think this is a good idea, I suggest you look at history at The Lady of Angels School fire in Chicago that killed 92 children and three nuns due to lack of exits. People from the Midwest recall this terrible fire. Anyone who knows about this horrible fire should be appalled at the ignorance of such a suggestion.
