A generation of this nation’s students have grown into adulthood with their school years shaped by active shooter drills and police in schools. Lawmakers just cannot — or will not — take the necessary action to stymie the school shootings that have marred the education landscape for decades.
This political impotence has recently been exemplified in Tennessee, where, barely a year after the state’s deadliest shooting at Covenant School in Nashville claimed the lives of three adults and three nine-year-olds, some of the state’s conservative lawmakers passed a bill that will allow teachers and staff to carry concealed weapons. The bill passed with an overwhelming vote and was just signed into law by Governor Bill Lee, despite the pleas of protestors, including a Covenant School mom who delivered a letter with over 5,300 signatures, including from parents and medical professionals urging the measure’s defeat.
The bill’s proponents argue that it will help to fill gaps in school security where there is limited law enforcement presence, particularly in rural areas, and that requiring annual training, background screenings and conditioning applications on the approval of school principals and local law enforcement will address concerns about arming teachers.
However, giving teachers guns will not make schools safer.
Just as unarmed Black people are disproportionately victimized by police in communities, Black children are endangered by Tennessee’s law. Black children are already disproportionately subjected to overly punitive discipline.

Wonder what the legal view of carrying a Burna Projectile Launcher — the fully legal in all 50 states, no license required, no background check needed, not a firearm under federal law . . . Just wondering. Open or closed carry. I have no! connection with Burna. Only knowledge of . . . .
Janel George sounds like she/he’s one racist biatch. She needs to read up on the news. It’s blacks who are killing black kids. Check it out. Biatch.
OFFS!
A headline like that tells you right there don’t waste time reading an idiotic article.
Certain groups commit more crime than others, not due to skin color, but due to white racist Democrats destroying their families, ignoring criminal behavior and promoting the worship of the gangster mentality.
This is affecting many other groups as well.
Perhaps it is because it is black children who most beat up teachers, beat up other weaker white children and are a much bigger discipline problem.
Which demographic has the highest chance of getting in an altercation with a teacher? 🤔
Which demographic has the greatest chances of having a gun in school?
No one needs their “research” to know these answers.
This does indeed leave a certain demographic with a higher risk…. But its a risk theyve brought upon themselves. The culture embraces violence as means to an end….. this is not new.
Bring back the revolver with the magnetic ring.
I’m comfortable with that.
The only way black children will be put in harm’s way is if blacks are the ones doing the shootings.
do the lawmakers place their children in the schools that are the subject of debate?
heaven forbid!
Those "punks" wouldn't need to bother taking a gun off of a teacher. They can get guns already.

Like they aren't already?
If schools are so dangerous that teachers need to carry and armed security is required, why the heck are people sending their kids to them??????????
It isn't like homeschooling is unknown to the general public.
Not to mention that Black New York kids don't know what a computer is, sheesh, NY public schools must really be bad.
