1. +++ I mentioned this last week here. Remember Trayvon Martin and others killed because

they seemed suspicious. Also Plilando Castile a school nutritionist killed for a mention of conceal carry .,.. What if an autistic kid that is large in stature acts in a physical way.
Maybe anyone can be perceived as a threat.

3. well, of course, they are now

...fortunately, administrators' arsenals to deal with confrontations don't include actual weapons.

[Volaris]

17. Yet.

22. They can, they do, part time $15/hr cop with minimal training from Hudson Illinois killed a

intellectually challenged unarmed young man on a traffic stop. Cop said he felt threatened.

The deceased had forgotten to pay $15 for his gas at a gas station.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Additionally, armed teachers going postal against each other or the principal

Maybe also some kids might die in the crossfire.

What next, armed janitors?

[William Seger]

4. As stupid as that would be, it would make more sense than armed teachers

[liberalnarb]

5. It'll happen.

If they put guns in our schools I wouldn't be very surprised if that becomes a regular occurrence.

6. teachers are people, so....

Some will have spousal abuse histories...
Some will have substance abuse issues....
Some will have anger issues.....
Some will suffer from anxiety, depression, or other ailments
Many will be afraid at times.....
Many who claim otherwise actually have no clue about gun safety or handling

And soon, some will be armed.

[Iggo]

8. Some will be cowardly racist assholes with an instrument of death in their pockets.

[getagrip_already]

12. and sadly....

Those will be the first to sign on......

[Marcuse]

14. Some will sexually abuse students

[Iggo]

7. Already happened.

Although that doesn't really look like Zimmerman.

[HipChick]

9. Armed Black teachers who get mistaken for the shooter?

Don't think that won't happen either..

[keithbvadu2]

10. Plan ahead... he might have Skittles

[gordianot]

11. No firearms in schools.

I was called on an alert after a teacher was assaulted (the teacher won the fight). The assaulter was sent to me and we went to the gym to clean him up. Following that he announced to me he was going to his car to get a baseball bat and finish the fight. I followed him out the door knowing I would have to confront him hoping law enforcement would arrive. They did arrive in time. I am so glad that no firearms were involved, they do not belong in schools unless you are actually law enforcement. This same school has armed teachers today partially due to this incident years ago. As the person who was directly involved years ago I do not support armed teachers.

13. A few years ago My daughter had a Male teacher who was a "Ditto Head".

Just the Type of person we don't wan't with a gun in a Public school.

[Moostache]

15. I don't want ANYONE with guns in schools, ever.

Dittohead or clear-eyed rationalist doesn't change my calculus on this issue...there are instruments that schools NEED, like books, computers, smart boards, pencils and freaking paper (which many teachers cover out of pocket for their classes)...the one thing NOT needed on that long list? Guns. Ever.

[appalachiablue]

23. An Alt-Right coach/teacher who assisted the Charlottesville Unite the Right Event

and worked for a Catholic HS in Kensington, MD, a suburb of DC was just outed last month and fired by the school.
Indeed, instances of racist, anti semetic staff with dangerous views being armed with GUNS is asking for serious problems!

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. Yup. LWB. Learning while Black

[PubliusEnigma]

18. Teachers aren't Cops. And they never should be.

[Cosmocat]

19. I have been saying this repeatedly since this got legs a few years ago

Arm teachers in states with loose Stand Your Ground Laws and see what happens.

[getagrip_already]

20. times have certainly changed.....

I'm turning 60 soon, so maybe it's my age here, but when I went to high school, we didn't have armed resource officers. The only time cops came to the school was for drug issues or maybe undercover narcs. But they were never called for fights, even with teachers.

And in college, in the mid 70's in medford, ma, our campus police didn't carry guns. The students were safer that way.

Now, ughhh.

Of course, the biggest scurge back then was the saturday night special. Cheap, often unreliable small caliber revolvers. Dangerous enough at close range, but not a weapon of war.

Then the glocks started showing up, and the arms race ensued.

I don't what kids these days think. The gods have lost their minds......

[samir.g]

21. Of course it will happen

Some teachers are just itching to get that sort of power.

[raven mad]

24. "Paranoia strikes deep

Into your mind it will creep -
Starts when you're always afraid........

Step out of line, the man come and PUT YOU DOWN.
