I’ve been following DOC for a few years now. I initially found them on WLOX news in missississippi. As a school teacher, I love this idea. I do not want to have guns in my classroom or my school looking like a prison. I looked closely at their product videos and I plan on putting stickers on our desks when we get them. I’m glad I can move them around the classroom. Thanks y’all for actually doing something about saving kids lives!

I like this nonprofit because they showed me amazonsmile. With the holidays coming up, that is by far the greatest passive investment I am making… investing in our kids safety. I hope you all will make the investment too like defend our children is. I am donating through amazon smile (does not cost me).

My cop friend told me about this. He said it was called a classroom shield. That got me thinking, what other shields do kids have in the classroom? There isn’t any… I looked. This is by far the greatest addition to school safety I’ve ever seen. I emailed their website email and they answered my questions. 10/10!!! A+.

This nonprofit is the way to go. The desk is a way to protect our children in case of an intruder happens in school. We need to defend and protect our children

I never thought a product like this was available. It makes tactical sense. Let’s let the kids focus on learning while the adults focus on security and safety. What do we have to do to get these in EVERY school???! IT JUST MAKES SENSE. Glad to know people out there are caring enough to do something!

This nonprofit constantly publishes ways they’re helping improve school safety. I enjoy reading their articles on what’s new and they keep me updated on school shooting articles. This way I know school safety is being improved or if it is going backwards! This nonprofit cares!

There can be no greater non profit than Defend our Children. The name says it all. You’ve got a couple brilliant men who are natural born engineers inventing school desks that would prevent the next egregious tragedy. Defend our Children desks should be in every school throughout the country without question. I feel better knowing this non profit exists.

I’ve been volunteering my time with the National Defend our Children nonprofit. The board and the project managers are very understanding our volunteer’s time commitments and are flexible. This is a great cause to get behind. We all want to improve school safety, but we actually can through Defend our Children.

Our board truly cares about the only thing that matters… the kids. Our focus is on improving school safety NOW. Not waiting for other systems to improve. WE CARE.
