The Nashville School District does not defend the metal detectors before the shooting at school: ‘Unintentional consequences’
Antioch High School in Nashville, Tennessee, where a deadly shooting occurred last Wednesday, had no metal detectors because of the concern of some administrators because of racism, New York Post reported.
“I knew this day would happen,” said Frans Bush, former member of the Metro Nashville Public School Committee (MNPS) New York Post. “I knew it would just happen because they were like a free open door, everyone was coming in.”
The shooting, which left 16-year-old student Josselin Core Escalante and the suspects dead, called for a school to bring a metal detectors after the AI safety system failed to detect a 17-year-old weapon weapon.

Bush claims she pushed the metal detectors as she served on the MNPS Committee, but the director of the Adrienne Battle District was not receptive.
The battle told reporters that the school district had no metal detectors because of the potential “unintentional consequences”, but did not develop possible consequences.
MNP has reportedly sent a post in a study that shows that metal detectors can disproportionately affect color students and instill more feelings of fear than for some of the safety. However, Bush rejected this reasoning as a “bunch of bull”.
“No studies [that] Shows that metal detectors don’t work, “Bush said.” If this was the case, then we will not have them at our airports, sports games, we would not have them in all these places that require safety. “
