The River Valley Local School District in Marion County, Ohio, implemented a policy that allows teachers and school staff to be armed amid concerns over emergency response time.

Heritage Elementary School is one of the two elementary schools in the River Valley Local School District in Ohio.

Wickham said community response to the policy has been mostly positive despite misgivings from some parents, according to the local outlet. "Some have expressed questions about the training and selection process," he said."The vast majority of parents have expressed appreciation for the proactive approach in protecting their children. That is really a main reason for adopting the use of armed staff.

Beautiful

That's a good start. If someone can take the person out earlier, it will save lives. Next, triage and basic first aid should be offered to all school employees. Employees should have the right to volunteer for the training at their discretion.

This makes sense. Instead of taking guns off the streets let’s arm more people with no experience of actually shooting or even maybe killing someone or accidentally shooting a student. You go Ohio!

There should be armed security at all schools. These cowards that attack helpless students and faculty will not risk the possibility of someone shooting back. If trained, coordinated assistance is volunteered by staff, that would add to the deterrent.

Great! Perhaps the staff and students can get into a traditional GUNFIGHT--at the end of each school year! Shootout at the O.K. Coral High School! 🙄

Really bad and deadly idea.

👏

How much you paying Dominion for lying?

Gun free zones do not work

But movie theaters, banks, grocery stores, churches, malls, concert venues, and gas stations will remain soft targets.

Lol If you only knew how many teachers are under psychological care you wouldn’t think this is a good idea.

This is awesome I wish more states would do the same

Especially from student attacks.

This idea will not end well, I can assure more shootings will happen, it is inevitable...

Suicidal dysfunctional people will now have the opportunity to commit suicide “by teacher” instead of by “cop”. There is no rational explanation to allowing armed teachers in schools.

Someone gets it! Awesome! You won't stop the increase of evil in our culture, but you can stop an individual from expressing that evil within your school. 2A

Its about time only if all schools would do this across the nation only thing to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy

Until a teacher shoots a kid or a kid grabs and fights for the teachers gun, this IS most certainly going to end in a horrible situation

We don’t trust teachers cause they teach that CRT but you trust time to shoot some bad guys.

The shooters are committing suicide at the schools taking as many people with them as possible to ensure the police kill the shooter. One officer with a hand gun isn't going to stop the shootings from happening. The shooters want to die. The shooters are hopeless.

Great news I'm happy about that.

Great what happens when that teacher has a bad day or a bad breakup?

Need this in PA.

I’d be taking my kids out of Ohio as fast as humanly possible

Good move!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is what federalism is about: We have 50 states, we try different policies with a little humility and then we compare and learn and adopt the policies that work. Sometimes we get unexpected results. Consider the possibility that your opinion might turn out to be wrong.

Bout time to protect our students & staff Now require Martial Arts training for each student in order to learn the discipline of dealing w emotions

Now we just have to wait for the first teacher to snap!

👏👏👏👏👏 👍👍👍

about dam time

Now teachers will be the new shooters of children

I can’t think of a single thing that could possibly go wrong here.

What a big mistake ! The schools will be now a softer target from within the school now students know teachers have guns . Dumb, dumb idea .

T-minus 30 days until a teacher gets pissed off and pulls a gun on a student. Max 30 days. Anyone else want to bet on it?

Amen, children will be protected

Trying something different

Gonna wait for the first teacher that is severely stressed out and pulls their gun and kills a student

About time.

Finally

👏👏👏👏👏👏

should arm the children, too, so they're not soft targets walking home or at the park or standing up to woke parents

Should've happened long ago

How soon before a teacher shoots the student?

so, we’re going to become a country of armed schools for the littlest children because the adults refuse to act like adults GOP sand all those who say we’re not gonna fix this

The kids have guns, it’s about time the teachers did too.

If we didn't have shit parents we wouldn't need this. If certain parents stopped using the schools as a daycare or as a means to be able to be worthless we wouldn't have this problem. Some people should not reproduce.

Can't trust them with books but here's a gun....

Fox is truly evil.

What are the betting odds that some unarmed Black kid gets shot before they ever stop an active shooter as a result of this?

Hire security teams, trained in mass shooting situations. Don’t rely on armed teachers. It’s doable.

Morons.

And Republican Jesus said, “Arm thyself to the gills. When thy loseth thy temper, thou shalt unleash thy fury upon whomever thou wilt in My name.” Also, if prayers worked, children wouldn’t be killed and enduring shooter drills in schools.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Amazing Win for Ohio!!!

Finally, some common sense

Back in 1990 when i went to highschool, we had a security guard named Adam..I'll never forget this guy..he was jacked and armed. Nobody messed with Mr.Adam.

Bravo 👏

Good news !! One more layer of protection for our children !

What are we going to tax to pay for this? A new federal sales tax on the sales of firearms, ammunition, or both?

Here come the false flags of students over powering teachers for the gun. There's always a bigger agenda ahead

This is not a good idea people, I’ve seen many emotionally unstable teachers being overwhelmed by students and losing their st. If we’re going to arm people to protect our children during their time at school it should be with highly trained competent security, reconsider Ohio.

Wow , that’s good news , it worked out really well in Texas when the officers arrived and waited 45 minutes to act , because they were worried about the assailant with the gun . What you need is not properly trained teachers , yes that’s the answer ! Good job !

It's ohio. Second what can possibly go wrong only time will tell

With the few teachers I know in Ohio, if the shit started it would take them 10 minutes to get the gun out from under their fat rolls.

Oh dear!

Or just restrict firearms sales to a certain kind of person.

So you are arming the same teachers you think are woke commies trying to turn your kids gay? Make up your minds.

When your small children already have to be taught active shooter drills and their parents buy them bullet-resistant school bags, the next clearly obvious step is giving their teachers firearms….
