Makes just as much sense as blaming it on guns. Personally, I think rutabaga is at the root of the problem...

I saw this interview. The LtGov did not blame the shooting on too many doors. He talked about limiting access to the school through a few monitored doorways as a better prevention method than gun control.

Even CNN had to admit that is how many buildings are set-up, such as Costco, with one monitored way in and many emergency exits available for rapid evacuation in case of emergency.
The idea that Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wanted to replace doors with brick walls is a straw argument, quite typical of the left. I've come across some who respond to the idea of arming faculty and staff at schools with such stupidity as "You're crazy!! You want kindergartners to have pistols in their backpacks!!".

Funny, the junior high that I went waaay back in ‘64-‘66 had no fencing and an almost infinite number of points into the building. I noted however that years ago they installed fencing and basically have one point of entry by the front office. (Except for controlled entry onto the playing fields for whatever amounts to gym these days) Also I recall high schools I recruited from in the mid-80’s that had similar controlled access. And this was all in Florida.
It seems that if a school WANTS to do it, they’ll find a way.

The schools in my small rural northern Michigan school district, (largest graduating class ever was 63 kids) had it figured out since 1998, a year before the Columbine massacre.
At the beginning of the school day, each exterior door is manned by two teachers, for 15 minutes before the school day starts. The teachers are the one's whose classrooms are closest to the door. Parents are not allowed to drop off their kids earlier. Once school starts, those doors are alarmed emergency exits only.
The only entry to the building during school hours is via an entrapment area lobby with magnetic locks. The only way both doors to the entry area can be open at the same time is if the secretary in the office, who monitors entry, overrides the doors or if the emergency exit bars are hit.
At the end of the day, once again, all exterior doors are doors are manned by the same teachers for 15 minutes while the kids exit the building. After that kids must exit by the main entrance.
This is not high technology, nor is it exorbitantly expensive. All of the exterior doors have tempered glass with steel cable reinforcement and are rated at five minutes breaching time for non-explosive entry. The Fire Department, town constable, and county sheriff's deputies all carry keys to access the doors in an emergency. This is not high technology, nor is it exorbitantly expensive.
This system was put in place so that parents in a contested custodial suit could not snatch the kids from school. It never happened in this district but it happened in an adjacent district. If a small rural school system can figure it out, why can't the big town city slickers?
