A US mother has shared a confronting image from her daughters prospective kindergarten classroom, showing the instructions for a lockdown drill put to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Georgy Cohen, a Boston creative director, shared the image on Twitter this morning. It shows a multi-coloured lyric poster outlining the drill protocol:

Lockdown, lockdown
Lock the door

Shut the lights off
Say no more

Go behind the desk and hide
Wait until its safe inside

Lockdown, lockdown
Its all done

Now its time to have some fun!


In a follow-up message, Cohen said her child was excited about [a drill] as a game to see if you can stay quiet for one whole minute.

The post has drawn a considerable amount of attention from those saddened by the apparent necessity of teaching toddlers how to navigate a potential school shooting scenario.

Kinda sad to see this is just becoming accepted as a part of living in the US.

True. Most rhymes were intended to scare kids straight

I would say that given the history of other nursery rhymes and that the US is making a nursery rhyme for school shootings. It really shows we've messed up somewhere.

Remember that in the 50s they had drills because they were terrified of the idea of being nuked? It's a case of having a plan of action in a worst case scenario. If any kind of event happened, imagine trying to corral 30 untrained 5 year olds. If you make a game and song about it, it probably makes it much easier and safer.

I'm not saying it's bad to do drills. I just think it's a little weird how instead of trying to do stuff to reduce the issue we are slowly seeming to accepting it as a fact of life. I don't recall there being a nursery rhyme for nuclear war threat.

The difference is that nukes weren't going off in schools with the regularity that guns are.

I've only ever see him post that "only cops should have guns" in any topic about guns.

And on a side note, let's not forget that the existing gun laws would have stopped the majority of recent shootings if they were properly enforced.

America doesn't need more gun control. It just needs the existing gun control to actually be enforced. If the current gun control isn't being enforced properly, what makes you think your idea of "better" gun control would be enforced any better?

Lockdowns aren't just for school shootings though

If they were, that last line would be pretty fucked up

It's so the kids don't stress out during drills and when it happens for real they think it's just a drill and won't be scared :(

tbh, if there is an active shooting on campus. You'll probably hear gunshots.

I think is a good thing, to be honest

Kids need to remain calm, and training them like this not only does that, but it helps them remember.

Didn't the drill add to pretty much "bend over and kiss your ass goodbye because it's going to be toast"'

Yeah, and it's the most beligerent fucking thing, too. It's like;

"Should we maybe do something about these shootings?"
"ARE YOU TRYING TO TAKE AWAY MY RIGHTS!?!?"
"No, I just think there has got to be some sort of solution ..."
"Nope, natural course of history, random anomaly, we don't know what causes it and never will"

So are they basically teaching those kids that it's normal and expected that when guys get pissed off and sad they start shooting people?
