    By the way, this is NOT an exaggeration!!

    I never said “give teachers guns” like was stated on Fake News @CNN & @NBC. What I said was to look at the possibility of giving “concealed guns to gun adept teachers with military or special training experience – only the best.

    A REAL Trump Tweet…

    Thanks to the gun-humping hicks of Louisiana, this scene would actually be feasible in that state, provided schools issued imitation weapons to their students. A recent riveting episode of This American Life examined the legislative failure there to ban imitation guns.

    As we know, cops MISS most of their shots, and they are (allegedly) highly trained. By the way, one of my favorite cartoons of all time was a Don Martin episode on a plane. All at once, ALL of the passengers stand up, weapons out, and yell “This is a hijack!” Then they all look around at each other, and then, sheepishly, sit back down. If only!

    If it works like other teacher supplies, the teachers will have to pay for their own training and buy their own guns.

    I’m curious what happens when the armed guard or teacher has a mental health issue or a simple anger outburst? That is he or she has an argument with the school admins (like it has never happened), and in a fit of rage, opens fire in the classroom? I suppose Kevlar vests would be part of school uniform now?

    Terrible idea. Horrible idea. Awful idea. You can either provide security or you can teach; either one requires full attention & to attempt to do both simultaneously is to fail epically at both.

    Why would you lie about this? Trump, the NRA and a boatload of others have been calling for armed guards and armed teachers for over a decade.

    Not arming all teachers. Just the handful who are willing, willing to take training and able to handle the burden.

    The violent and ignorant Republicans ignore all of the studies.

    “Stop shooting our kids” is seen as a liberal talking point by the ‘pro-life’ crowd.

    Heard on NPR the first authority to arrive at the shooting in Florida stayed outside the building for approximately 4 minutes before entering.

    So, what about the Teachers? ~ I was reading this article today in Education Week (see link below) and one thing that struck me was that there has been a lot of talk about the most-recent school shooting incident and how to respond going forward. ~ Much of the discussion has centered on the role of the teachers in all of this. However, for most of the coverage over the last week that I have seen, their voice is pretty much missing. We have heard from the Parkland ~ and other ~ students (God bless them!); pundits; Police; politicians; and – some – school administrators in the national media. ~ Many of these dialogs have talked about the role of the teachers and also what the expectation is regarding their role and responsibility in the classroom: what it is today and what it should be in the future. ~ As the saying goes, “Easy for you… you aren’t there”. ~ This article raises a very serious concern about what sort of pressure these expectations are putting on all teachers regarding how they could ~ or should ~ perform in a terrible situation like this. The resulting talk about “heroes” and “cowards” in Parkland certainly won’t make this any easier. ~ Source: EDUCATION WEEK PUBLICATIONS ~ https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2018/02/20/theyre-coming-for-me-and-my-kids.html?cmp=eml-eb-popweek+02232018webmch
