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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
