Mothers, students and educators packed a room at the Texas Capitol on Tuesday to voice their opposition to arming teachers and school personnel, while experts invited to testify touted the state's school marshal program. The second day of hearings for a Senate select committee on school safety addressed the marshal plan the Legislature passed in 2013, which allows licensed school employees to carry firearms after taking an 80-hour course run by law enforcement. The Texas Association of School Boards reports that 217 districts have adopted some form of a program to allow school employees to carry firearms. |

None of the districts that have enacted the program have had a school shooting or any problems with the armed teachers/staff.
That should be the only thing that matters. |

The 'sensitivity" of snowflake teachers and students shouldn't even be part of the equation.
If you ask a three year old if he wants to go to the dentist, he'll squall and howl in a similar fashion as these useful leftist tools. Meanwhile, he'll continue to eat candy and get cavities. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
