Dozens of current or retired teachers, parents and education experts argued against the idea of arming teachers during a DOE 'listening tour.'

What if a teacher uses a gun for unruly students.and later claim 'I thought they was terrorists'.you know how stout children can be

Their so-called 'comprehensive assessment' only covered 8 states and 1500 comments! This is NOT comprehensive and Sec. DeVos needs to resign now!

Cue the fuckroar

Building walls, arming all school personnel; when these damn Republicans come up with stupid & reckless ideas, they won’t give them up, no matter how much damage they will cause.

She's just another NRA tool bought and paid for with the blood of innocent children.

Twitter posters. Stop focusing on teachers. In our school we have an armed staff member, who is a retired policeman and former Army vet...and students and parents support it. Schools have many logical options. Stop pretending it is just about making English teachers pack heat.

Betsy has got to go.

The government has TOTALLY lost it! Arming teachers is so completely ridiculous I can’t get my head around the concept.

NRA encouraged (💰💲🤑) her!

When seconds count, rest assured police will be there in minutes.

Good

Why not?

Only in America

Mom2Queenie Potential grizzlies.

Wrong x infinity.

One thing about Republicans, when they have a bad idea they stick with that bad idea.

Criminals and greedy fools! They are all detestable!!!

Devos resign

More guns is NOT the answer. duh GunReformNow

Betsy’s brother is pushing this !

Good! The Democrats believe signs and laws will prevent evil. Morons. Every single democrat.

Now there are two peas in a pod

Sure, the answer is always more guns. Why is the US the ONLY country in the world that does that?

Why not hire security guards instead of arming teachers?!!!

fucktrumo

This commission also reverse Obama-era guidances regarding discriminatory practices aimed to protect Black kids from being singled out in school discipline. That had nearly nothing to do with gun violence.

If this idea doesn't scare you as a parent, nothing will!

If only a report like this could be written by experts, not clueless Trump appointees. BetsyDeVosED Go to hell.

If I knew some of my teachers were armed back in the day I think I’d be scared to go to school in the first place.

Absolutely Not

OnlyIn🇺🇸 NOT in 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇪🇺 🇮🇪 🇦🇺 🇮🇹 🇪🇸 🇵🇹 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇸🇪 🇨🇭 🇳🇴 🇵🇱 🇹🇷 🇲🇹 🇬🇷 🇱🇺 🇭🇺 🇧🇬 🇮🇳 🇹🇭 🇮🇩 🇲🇾 etc. etc.

I'm surprised teachers haven't taken the initiative after columbine to arm themselves to protect their students and themselves .. This what the 2nd amendment is for ..not hunting or sports shooting ..self protection , defense of private property, & the USA along with the latter

CantHide a POTUS puppet in BestyDeVos who may be misguided &/or ignoring surveys; who’s forgetting the old adage that “teachers teach & law enforcement protect”. She’s disconnected from public school awareness as she’s a private school advocate who’s networth is $1B

No way! This is probably one of the worse ideas in the history of bad ideas...

.... OBVIOUSLY...'GOP...IS LOOKING ..FOR $$$$$$$$ FROM NRA... ..AND 'DAMN' KIDS ..SAFETY.... .. TAXPAYERS ARE..PROVIDING.. ..FOR 'MY'..KIDS SAFETY !!!!.... ..THAT IS..ALL..THAT 'WE CARE'....

Schools are for learning not target practice. Adding guns is the stupidest idea going. Tighter gun controls and fewer guns is the only sane direction.

What a clusterfuck

mshvan This administration is like a Hydra of terrible policies, every time you think you've cut one off and moved onto to others, it grows back again and sneaks up on you.

Stupidest administration ever

给每个学生配发一把枪如何?以暴制暴大多数时候解决不了问题。

Fu

Just a thought, but, maybe we wouldn't (think we) need guns inside the schools if there weren't so many guns in the community OUTSIDE the schools. My $0.02

Enough of the arming. Enough of the futile attempt by BetsyDeVos to stay in office. Enough of the NRA 2 pay for these privileged money makers pretending anything but more violence on realDonaldTrump watch. fred_guttenberg has been a TRUE voice of this insanity. STOP now.

I hope Mueller is looking into Betsy DeVos. There is corruption written all over her F*ken Face 🤬

what a shock! 'more guns will stop gun violence' 🤣🤣🤣

Hmmm. We've already had a teacher in our area accidentally shoot a student.

Stupid you better get those teachers more of a salary too. And maybe supply ink paper pencils for the kids before supplying glocks

One of my teachers beaned one of her students in the face with a volleyball. I don't trust those crackpots as far as I could throw them.

Very good development

Lets see maybe they can throw erasers at the shooter!

So stupid.

Trump is simply running away from the problem, simply because he doesn't want to loose the funding he has been getting from NRA.

Devil you dont need to arm school protection when you & Devil President doing nothing burning in Hell .

Next, we should arm the students. Heck, let’s teach a publicly funded gun safety class and require every student to own a gun before going to school. Just to be safe. 🤘😈👽 While we are at it, let’s arm the homeless too.

bet it don't include ways trumps going to pay for it tho.

Wait. . . So teachers aren’t allowed to give zeroes or tell your child to shut up & pay attention but they can carry guns?! Most teachers would be happy just to have their authority in the back classroom. How about we enforce & support that? DevosDoesntCareAboutPublicSchool

Aww, everyone is going to start crying about this.

Sure. What could go wrong?

HORRIBLE IDEA!!! Of course, that's what they were pushing through.. potential bloodbath with kids in the crossfire.. unreal.

Is Trump checking out Betsy's rack?

More guns fixes everything

Thats so wrong on many levels
