The big flaw with arming teachers is that you’re tasking liberals that wouldn’t own a gun if they were provided a free gun safe, paid a bonus, and given all-you-can-eat arugula and hummus. You’ll have better luck getting Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates to polish their own floors.
This may be a way to rid ourselves of some liberal teachers. Make it a quota system, 20 percent of all teachers must be willing to carry. Hire teachers who are willing to carry if the standard is not met.
The teachers who don’t want to carry, don’t have to. Of course, if THEIR classroom is one of the next ones to get shot up, they’ll have to explain to parents of any victims, why they didn’t have a way to protect their kids. Armed teachers is a kind of culture shock, though. They would have to have their weapon on their person to be effective. Can you imagine some overgrown 10th grader who’s trying to intimidate his teacher, trying to wrestle his or her weapon from him or her? What a world we live in.
In this once-bastion of conservatism here in my county in Virginia most of the teachers are brain-dead liberals, but there are way more than enough conservative, trustworthy, teachers that would carry and protect the children.
