An Erie school district has bought hundreds of new baseball bats and its not planning a massive expansion of any sports programs.
The Millcreek Township School District outside Erie distributed the miniature bats to 500 teachers last week as part of a training program on how to deal with school shooters, the Pittsburgh Tribune reports.
Superintendent William Hall says it cost the district around $1,800 to buy 600 16-inch baseball bats, including some that will be placed in offices and other common areas. Hall says the bats are to give teachers a chance to fight back as part of a procedure with the acronym TROJAN: Threat assessment; run; obstruct and barricade; join forces; attack; and never give up.] [snip]

I think it would be better to have a score of baseballs in each room.
The only chance for teachers going up against an armed assailant with such a weapon is a coordinated attack or an attack from behind.
I think wrist rockets would be a better idea.
A coordinated counter attack with 32 caliber shot from wrist rockets would quickly bring a shooter to his knees without killing him.
Provided no one shoots him through the eye. Body shots only folks
Batchit crazy.
Well, at least it’s better than a whistle.
I give them props to for at least advocating for fighting back - instead of cowering, and waiting for the police to come and write a report.
Ya forgot about the Cellulose Armor Piercing Cop Killer Bullets...
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I can see the shop teacher making a steel duplicate for himself and painting it black.
Needs nails.
They must be those bats the army’s developed to repel automatic weapons fire.
I guess that the “geniuses” in education cannot understand the messons of history. Just ask a Native American if a hand held weapon will protect you from a bullet.
