I like it. Teachers should have the option to be armed (6 year old students, not quite so much - in class, anyway).
For other school districts that oppose firearms, however, they should at least permit non-lethal self-defense for teachers such as bean-bag guns, stun guns, stun grenades, pepper spray, and dogs.
Teachers are capable of being one line out of many in our defenses against terror and crimes that would otherwise be aimed at our children in school, so having all of them remain unarmed just begs for repeats of Columbine and Virginia Tech.

As a proud Texan, I hope this is just the first in a long line of school districts that allow the teachers to be armed. It’s time to turn “gun free zones” into “safe zones”.

Harrold is near where I grew up. I'm glad to see some school districts show some cajones...

"North Texas school district will let teachers carry guns" As liberals flee the economic basket cases they caused for greener pastures, lets hope that headlines like this will make them think twice about moving to Texas.
We don't need any more stinking liberals (redundant).

Be prepared to be called a redneck, a hick, and/or a racist.... assumptions by the liberal scum about all Southerners but Texans in general.

I partook of all the usual Texas stereotypes until I actually moved there and lived there (Gainesville, Cooke Co)for awhile.
More good hearted down to earth folk do not exist. Thats
true for most of the rural midwest as well.
Now that I find myself in the recently re-logoed King
(MLK type) Co I find I miss my former neighbors more.
