On Sept. 1, 2004, radical Islamic terrorists attacked a Russian school, killing more than 385 children, teachers, parents and special forces soldiers. In Veteran U.S. Navy SEAL Dom Raso’s new commentary, he explains why a lack of necessary security and our politicians’ lack of courage, along with the dangerous lie of gun-free zones, make American schools vulnerable to the same type of terror.

“For ISIS terrorists, and the lone wolves they inspire, nothing is off limits, and nothing is too far. President Obama wants you to believe otherwise. He talks about ‘universal values we all share,’ as if Islamic terrorists are just like us ... Make no mistake: These people are ready and willing to murder our children. The fact that that is a controversial statement proves how unprepared and how unwilling we are to face the threat that is truly out there.”
