This is what happens when you get teacher’s unions running the show. You get hurt teachers all so some fat as* 68 year old retired English teacher can continue to get his\her diabetes\blood-pressure medicine paid at 100% and receive his\her pension for life. It’s about the free stuff and protecting the bureaucracy. Teachers in America are the best and worst of us.

I think you miss my point. Yes, unions can create problems. But when it comes to school violence, they have absolutely no impact or influence. All they can do is shine light on the situation from the sidelines.
School violence exists only because administrators turn a blind eye to it. Those guys are rewarded for keeping suspensions low. They are not rewarded for keeping their schools safe.
Side story: I once worked with a vice-principal who was not of that mold. He actually cared about school safety. Well, one day a knife fight broke out in the school. He immediately called the city police (a good move).
The next day this vice-principal got a call from the superintendent. He was told that if he ever called the city police again, he would be fired.
Why? When the city police are involved, it will make the local news. Can’t have that happen!
