It is reported that drumpf has called for arming teachers as a surefire means to prevent school shootings.
Has the world begun to get its collective mind around the mega-stupidity of this idea? I am surprised not to hear it shouted from housetops, that the orange man/child has gone completely around the bend.
Consider the following. i) Many teachers do not wish to be armed. ii) The likelihood of a shootout in a classroom should terrify anyone with any connection to any school. iii) Many, if not most people, are not prepared to end the life of another person, even in self defense; in fact, police officers involved in major shooting incidents experience a high incidence of PTSD.
Is this insanity going to pass through our system without leaving a ripple? Please tell me, no. not so.
