Florida’s plan to allow armed teachers as a defense against shootings has fallen flat

Only seven of Florida’s 67 county school districts—Bay, Gilchrist, Lafayette, Levy, Okeechobee, Putnam and Suwannee—say they have approved or would consider arming teachers, according to a survey of school officials by The Wall Street Journal.

Three others—Baker, Jackson and Okaloosa—wouldn’t say whether they have authorized the move.Since 1998, there have been more than a dozen shootings at kindergarten, elementary, middle and high schools that resulted in multiple deaths. These are some of the victims.

NRA “Solution” Backfires According To Most Educated Americans, Secret t Reports

Good thing - because research shows unintentional shootings are more likely result - and parents/teachers overwhelmingly oppose. I support funding for more SROs, but only if they're trained to work with minors & not be simply 'school cops' (and most aren't).

Yes it's ok to protect our money and politicians with firearms, but not our children, our most precious resource... Well done.

Dumbasses

This a school not a military boot camp or the military installation. The safety of ALL the children is paramount however; let the police experts do what they were trained for and many new issue that follow. No guns in the schools nor guns for the teachers. ♀️

Give the teachers straps

TrueFactsStated I imagine insurance adjusters pointed out reality to them.

TrueFactsStated STEM school in CO had a trained marine who was also a sheriff’s deputy armed on the day of their shooting. He shot a student while shooting at the muzzle of a cop’s gun. Students took the shooter down because 99% of the time a good guy without a gun stops the bad guy w a gun.

TrueFactsStated Thank goodness!

TrueFactsStated Lol FL Guess you'll have to arm the kids. What could go wrong?

TrueFactsStated The GOP is a death cult.

This is good news. Any kid that thinks it's ok to do this stuff will think twice now because they know someone else is armed and will shoot them. We're no longer defenseless. Criminals don't care about gun laws. They will get a gun no matter what piece of you pass.

Great we don’t need teacher to have guns. They go to schools to teach.

Recruit more male teachers.
