When are teachers permitted to shoot students?
That question may seem absurd to parents sending kids back to school. But America suffers from an expanding gun crisis. Shootings have become routine.
And in Utah, with local NRA proxies promoting more armed teachers and the Legislature having made our “stand your ground” law more permissive, it’s not far-fetched to imagine situations where an armed Utah teacher might feel justified shooting an “aggressive” student in her classroom. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, there has not been one mass shooting at any schools that have armed teachers.
Eliminating the victim disarmament zone at those schools has made them immensely safer.
The only reason to shoot a student is if he presents a lethal threat with a gun or a knife. In which case he should be shot.
Teach your children respect and to obey societal norms Stanley, and they won't get shot at school. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
