WASHINGTON - November 15, 2017 -
NEA President Lily Eskelsen García issued the following statement in reaction to yesterdays shooting in Northern California, which targeted students and educators at Rancho Tehama Elementary School:
We pray for the victims of this latest tragedy in Tehama County, California, and the schoolchildren and adults shot by another out-of-control man who could spray bullets through a classroom and down the street with a rapid-fire weapon. Were grateful to the educators who heroically protected their students in this rural school, the heroes in a Texas church, and those at a Las Vegas concert. But heroes cant prevent the next tragedy. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. Act to keep dangerous weapons away from dangerous people.
NEA maintains a crisis resource page for students, educators, parents, and communities at nea.org/safeschools. On our Safe Schools page, you can find advice for talking to students about violent tragedies, as well as tips for preventing school violence. You may also download NEAs School Crisis Guide, which NEA assembled to foster the creation of crisis teams with the ideas, tips, tools, and resources that spur effective leadership and crisis management. Knowing what to do in a crisis can be the difference between stability and upheaval. This step-by-step resource created by educators for educators can make it easier for union leaders, school district administrators, and principals to keep schools safebefore, during and after a crisis. The NEA School Crisis Guide can be found here.

"keep dangerous weapons away from dangerous people".
Guess that's NEA President Lily Eskelsen García's solution.
Quit making schools gun free zones!
It is time for action. End the #GunFreeZones designation that makes schools killing fields.
That's not their line of work.

Schools are dangerous places. Ban schools!
Dear NEA,
Here’s the fix:
Tell the cops and the courts to DO THEIR JOB!
The perp was out on bail when he was a proven danger to the community.
Bad on the Judge.
He was reported as a felon, firing a weapon and making threats to neighbors.
Bad on the cops for not investigating and arresting for felony violations, not requiring a complaint.
Except our natural right to defend ourselves from mentally ill demoncrats and a tyrannical government come from God...It’s only enumerated in the Constitution.
If the left keep up these mass shootings and the call for gun confiscations, they will soon know what real violence is all about.
Fire all the teachers.
There are no dangerous weapons. There are only dangerous people.

Far far more children die from the psychiatric drug that Eskelsen and the NEA push than are killed by bullets.
NEA - it is possible to retto-fit schools to be rally, really safe.
The pic above is of Jim Bridger Middle School - located in the middle of Da Hood in North Las Vegas. IOW- a real pit.
Besides the full time **armed guards** - the school district replaced all outside facing galss with steel plate, all classroom door are solid metal with massive deadbolts and NO windows.
NONE of the outside facing doors have door handles and require a special key to open the door.
Most of the chain-link fence around the school is over 8 feet in height. Some of the fence has razor wire along the time.
My children were forced to attend the school - we called it Jim Bridger Jr Prison. Was it "safe" - I would say yes, based on the history of the place. The students were in more danger from other students than from the hood ratz.
My point is that nobody wants their child to have to attend a school that looks like a prison - but that is what it takes for the level of safety you (NEA) seem to be demanding.
Good luck on getting the funding to harden your existing schools....

Sorry, not quite.
Cops are obligated to even SHOW UP when called. Plenty of cases to the same. To whit, they are GOVT muscle, they aren’t obligated to be PROACTIVE in any way.
Judges, like cops, mo matter how BAD their rulings/decrees, have the shield of ‘immunity by govt\while on the job’.
Yet, the sheeple are too timid to run ANYONE out on a rail anymore or re-affirm their inalienable Right to self-preservation/protection.
A *biz* becomes liable for any deaths upon their property should they deprive their patrons/customers their Right(s). Govt (an entity created OF the People, FOR and BY the same)?? Not even a slap on the wrist.
Let’s also not forget the NEA is interested in only ONE thing: Its own POWER. They’ll care about the quality of the teaching (aka ‘education’) when the parents pay dues. Until then, the taxpayers and kids can fark themselves.
Post of the thread.
They ignore the drug problems, because many of the teachers are potheads. With that in mind, look at the photo of the latest poster boy for gun control.
