My girls both attend public school (this is their first year). I received a letter from their school as well. It's similar to the letter sent out in Texas, although maybe with a little less depth. I had the same reaction as most of you when I read it. "My girls are my everything.....and I'd be damned if anyone thought they could keep me away from them." I thought of how scared they would be without me .... and then I thought of the harm I could potentially cause them if I did remove them from the school. See the reason they lock down the schools is because most of them have a way of sealing the air and recirculating it, so that in the event of a nuclear war, they could at least sustain life a little longer than we could at home. I don't like the idea of my children being without me in a crisis......but if it came down to it, I'd just as soon sit outside their classroom window (pending I could make it that far) and reassure them that way, rather than break the air seal and expose them to whatever it is I was exposed to.
I don't like the idea of anyone controlling me or my kids.......but I do recognize when someone else can provide better safety measures for them than I can. It's kind of like if you neighbor had a bomb shelter, and had room for your kids....but not you. Wouldn't you want your kids to survive what you might not??
Just a different perspective. But who know, I've served in the military....could be I'm one of them brainwashed Americans everyone keeps talking about.

And why would you think a teacher , who has probably 25-30 kids to look after, would do a better job than you, in an absolute panic situation??
