Arm conservative teachers (the few who remain) with guns.

Arm liberal teachers with spitwads.

If Betsy DeVos will ever get off her Obama and get that voucher system going private schools would abound, and education would return.

They clearly don’t “get it”. Stupid is as stupid does.

Great rant, Hale, my brother.

How many businesses have security fine tuned right down to the badges now? Even at entry points?

And the cheese grater gates that are controlled?

Who’s protecting what?

Only guns in the hands of school administrations are going to stop school shootings. Nothing else will. Defensive tactics have uniformally failed all over the country. Anyone who will not give this a try does not care at all about the children. Their concern is that their liberal ideas might be shown to be wrong, and they cannot have that.

Because of the doctrine of parents patriae, the school is legally in the place of the parents and is responsible for protecting the children.

By refusing to provide that protection, the schools and the teacher should be legally culpable for allowing the children to be harmed.

But I am not a blood sucking attorney, thankfully.

Great post. Yeah I don’t understand how arming teachers could make things worse. It makes no sense at all. Until something is done, the schools will remain defenseless.

Yeah good point. So many liberals put their politics ahead of everything including their own safety, and their children’s.

I saw a local teacher on the morning news whining about how guns were against everything he believes in. we don’t need to arm left wing NEA wussies.

“I went to college to educate children, not because I wanted to kill another human. If I wanted a job where I was responsible for carrying a firearm, I would have taken a different career path,” Wheaton said. ... Asking us to now carry the burden of having the responsibility to kill is irreparably damaging, even if we never have to discharge our weapon.”

You guys want this pathetic excuse for a teacher educating your kids? She doesn’t want to kill another human being, so she wants to speak for all the other teachers as if none of them is willing to be an asset for the security of children. Does she teach this self-centered way of reasoning to our kids?

Some of these “teachers” are more concerned with boning their students than they are with actually educating and protecting them.

We protect sh*t that’s only valuable because of the value we place on it...

While leaving our Children defenseless AND brainwashed to just huddle up and wait for the slaughter.

They can pass whatever they want. It makes no difference to me.

I’ll ALWAYS have a gun to defend me, mine, and the innocent around me.

“...I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy to carry....”

I carry because CLEARLY the guys with the body armor and state immunity aren’t concerned about our well-being.

At least, those in Broward, anyway.

“...arming teachers could make things worse....”

It won’t. It makes kids safer. And teaching the youngsters about firearms helps too.

My kids were BOTH shooting before they were ten years old. They’re both Expert with handgun and rifle (I’m an Instructor).

It’s criminal negligence NOT to teach kids how to safely handle and use something that IS and always WILL BE a part of their world.

Liberal stupidity can go to Hell. Those kids died because the liberals made the environment a hazardous place where a psycho COULD run amok.

Not to mention the chickensh*t deputy - you know, the guy with BODYARMOR and a GUN (gasp) that failed at the ONE JOB HE WAS THERE TO DO...

Using the hashtag #ArmMeWith, teachers are proposing other resources they would rather be armed with, such as more funding, additional school counselors and smaller class sizes.

"We don't need no stuff to stop the killings - give us some stuff to make it easier to clean up the mess afterwards."

Lack of funding????

The department of education loses hundreds of millions of dollars every year due to corrupt administrators and teachers unions.

I bet these two airheads cry about not making enough money even though they only “work” six months out of the year while driving shiney new cars and living in 400k+ houses.

It’s not like teachers drive (or push) a brown 1972 Dodge around town and live in a single wide.
