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 |
| "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") |
