]You are cheering on the arming of teachers because you are afraid of a school shooter, while living in one of the safest countries in the world
This is irrational fear being carried out to a ridiculous end.
Do you propose that we do not change the status quo?
Are you saying that doing anything is better than doing nothing?
If you are, I disagree wholeheartedly. Status Quo is better than this. Teachers aren't cops, they aren't military, they aren't even half assed security guards.
They are teachers. People who chose to live on next to nothing, put up with everything your kids can dish out, and they do it for the love of the job. No one dies a rich teacher.
So, now we want them to also shoot back? Carry in a classroom?
Picture your kindergarten teacher. Ms whateverhernamewas. What was she like? Was she an old lady, some young idealist? Maybe a single mom that loved kids?
Now picture her trying to shoot a pistol.
Does this seem like a good idea?
Now, ideologically, what does this say about "The Brave Americans?"
What does the world think about us, when we are so afraid of a rampage shooter (as rare as they are) that we ARM OUR TEACHERS.
The only other country that has armed guards in the schools is Israel. They do it because schools and hospitals have been targets for terrorists. Then again, they also have armed soldiers at every major intersection.
Is the USA Israel? Are we surrounded by nations and ethnic groups that have vowed our physical destruction? Are the people in Canada or Mexico making textbooks that show dead Americans as the only acceptable Americans?
So, why are we acting like there are? Our kids are just as safe as they were before.
