I think this is misnamed. They should be honest and say that they are removing the victim culture in schools. And it should be ANYONE who wants to carry may legally do so.
A choice is better than a requirement any day.
A generous Texan is offering free shotguns to Hoosiers for self protection:

schools should have a security station with fulltime personel who are armed, in radio contact with one another, and patrlling the halls perpetually.
All the teacher wannabes I know are always griping about how few openings there are for new teachers. A lot of the parents I know are worried about their children being sexually molested in school by teachers. (A child is more likely to be molested in school that at church!) Here is my proposal: Require all teacher wannabes to undergo an in depth background check required to obtain a concealed carry permit and required the teacher WANNBE to obtain a concealed carry permit BEFORE she or he can be issued a teaching certificate. If the teacher allows the concealed carry permit to lapse, her (or his) teaching credential will also lapse. That simple change in policy will prevent schools from being soft targets for mentally ill cowards such as Adam Lanza.
This is the way to do it. This is the only way you can respond the threat of madmen.
You can’t possibly disarm every criminal or madman in the USA. There are already laws on the books that attempt to do that and succeeded only in disarming the honest folk who might otherwise deter or prevent such massacres rather than being victims themselves.
What New York, Connecticut, and Colorado have done was insane, and will have no effect on school security. Indeed if anything they will only make such massacres all that more easy to carry out.
Having an armed teacher or guard in the school means they can throw something other than just their bodies at an armed madman.
The Sandy Hook school shooting should have brought this reality home to everyone when the School Principal was reduced to throwing her body at the shooter in a futile attempt to stop him.
Imagine how many lives the might have saved if she had just had a gun.
A law such as this should be passed in every state that cares for the safety of their children.
The school district where I live voted for armed security now is place. Did so after the last school shooting that made the news nationwide.
