The Miami-Dade County School Board joined teachers unions and [SOME] parents Wednesday in opposition of legislation moving through the state capital that would allow designated school employees or volunteers to carry guns on campus.
The board voted 8 to 1 to oppose the proposal, which would allow Florida superintendents and principals to authorize certain trained and permitted individuals to carry concealed firearms at school as a safety measure. Sen. Alan Hays, a Republican from Umatilla who is sponsoring the senate version of the bill, says the legislation is “in the interest of maintaining a safe learning environment for all of our schoolchildren.”

They gotta protect the likes of Trayvon Martin ...
He was part of this Miami mis-education system. He died because noone in Miami wanted to discipline this thug two years ago.
Well, perhaps they have a point. The community needs stand off weapons, not in close weapons when dealing with those thugs in their system.
Liberals don’t trust themselves to be armed, therefore they seek to disarm everyone.
