'Lockdown, lockdown': kindergarten uses nursery rhyme to teach shooting response
Song to tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star hung in Massachusetts school sparks wave of responses online
A nursery rhyme based on a school shooting lockdown drill that was taped to a board in a Massachusetts kindergarten class has provoked a passionate online response.
The lyrics, written to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, are meant to help youngsters know what to do in the event of an attack such as those in Parkland, Florida, in February and Santa Fe, Texas, last month.
Both those attacks happened at high schools. Seventeen students and teachers were killed in Parkland and 10 in Santa Fe.
The rhyme read:
Lockdown, lockdown, lock the door
Shut the lights off, say no more
Go behind the desk and hide
Wait until it’s safe inside
Lockdown, lockdown, it’s all done
Now it’s time to have some fun!

My child and my young adult son or daughter should not have to go to a school and have to learn a bastardized "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", and then say at the end ............................this is just wrong................Fuck You NRA and gun manufactures
"Now its time to have some Fun!
