Uvalde superintendent says inspector gained access to one school campus during safety audit

An inspector conducting a safety audit on a school campus in Uvalde, Texas, was able to gain access to a building through an exterior door due to a faulty latch, the superintendent said on Monday.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas School Safety Center in June to start "in-person, unannounced, random intruder detection audits" at districts across the state. 

That order came just one week after a gunman walked through an exterior door at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde and opened fire, killing 19 students and two teachers. 

Inspectors approached three campuses in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (CISD) in the recent audit. Two of the campuses were secure, but an inspector was able to gain access through a loading dock at the third campus.

"They gained access and that was disappointing. That really is 100% my responsibility to see that didn’t happen," Uvalde CISD interim superintendent Gary Patterson said at a school board meeting. 

"The delivery of goods into loading docks was just something, quite honestly, that I overlooked, but I won’t overlook it next time."

Schools throughout Uvalde CISD are being outfitted with new security measures in the wake of the mass shooting, including fencing, surveillance cameras, and campus monitors.

A Texas House committee report on the shooting found that there "was a regrettable culture of noncompliance" with school security measures, giving the attacker "unimpeded access to enter" Robb Elementary School. 

"With hindsight we can say that Robb Elementary did not adequately prepare for the risk of an armed intruder on campus," the lawmakers wrote. 

The school district is also in the process of hiring a new police force after suspending all existing officers in October.

Stanford University guide to eliminate 'harmful language' ridiculed: 'It's all about the status of victimhood'

Fox News' Judge Jeanine Pirro blasted colleges and films for pushing their woke agenda on the public Tuesday on "The Five" after Stanford released its guide to remove "harmful language."

Stanford's guide included words like "American" and "grandfather" and invited ridicule from critics, including Pirro and the other co-hosts of "The Five."

"I don't understand why we capitulate to these fools. Why do we even give them a moment of our time?" she questioned. 

"Or an inch, as they say, because then they will take a mile," co-host Tom Shillue responded. 

Shillue highlighted a second example of the left pushing its "woke world" after a film critic claimed "Avatar: The Way of Water" was guilty of cultural appropriation because White actors "cosplayed" as blue aliens "of color."

"If you look at some of the silly things on this, it almost makes sense. There's a logic to it," Shillue said. "So, if you give in a little bit, then the argument about ‘Avatar’ makes some kind of sense. Because now anyone who does any kind of a change of color of their skin is racist."

Pirro agreed, saying the left likes to paint itself as victims all the time. "It's all [about] getting the status of victimhood," she said.

Co-host Jessica Tarlov suggested there is no point in renaming some of the phrases listed in the guide because it only makes things more complicated. 

"You wouldn't tell a 5-year-old to go to a ‘lunch and learn’ instead of a cafeteria," she said. 

Pirro said the left pushes causes in the name of political correctness, hoping people who don't understand it will be too "afraid to talk." 

"The only ones yapping are the ones creating these problems," she said.
