Catherine Rampell on Twitter: "Middle school administrators couldn't decide whether a trans student should be sheltered with boys or girls during an active shooter drill, so they left her outside https://t.co/7ib6jS96UI"

A “lockdown” drill at Stafford County Middle School, .... required students to seek shelter in the nearest bathroom or locker room.

After debating where would be safest for the student to shelter — during a drill designed to mimic the response to an active shooter — teachers ultimately told her to sit in the locker room hallway, away from the other students.

Pretty stupid, but it was just a drill. If all the students are packed into bathrooms and locker rooms I wonder if it would be safer finding a hiding place elsewhere.

Why would you divide up the students during the drill? Seems like that would take more time and effort, while making it easy not to account for students.

Who?
