Guns, teachers, and self-defense (Moron teacher would rather let pupils die than defend them.)
Boston.com ^ | 28 Dec 2009 | DOUG VAN GORDER

I AM a math teacher at Brockton High School, the site of a school shooting earlier this month.

Current school security procedures lock down school populations in the event of armed assault. Some advocate abandoning this practice as it holds everyone in place, allowing a shooter easily to find victims.

An alternative to lockdown is immediate exodus via announcement. Although this removes potential hostages and makes it nearly impossible for the shooter to acquire preselected targets, it unfairly rewards resourceful children who move to safety off-site more shrewdly and efficiently than others..........

I’m actually a member of a North East gun owners forum, and the guy that wrote that is actually a gun owning 2A supporter.

When he wrote that he was trolling, and it really was the mother of all trolls!

That is called survival of the fittest. The liberals are determined that the smarter, quicker reacting, bolder children must have an equal chance to die. Sick.

This is one of the best pieces of satire I’ve read in a long time.

From the article: “But as a progressive, I would sooner lay my child to rest than succumb to the belief that the use of a gun for self-defense is somehow not in itself a gun crime.”

WHAT?! Is this guy even a parent? I seriously doubt it, but if he is...he’s not normal. Is he seriously saying he’d rather have his child killed by a shooter than pick up a gun to stop him? That is not a normal parental attitude. Most parents would lay down their own lives to protect their children.

In other news, dozens of Freepers fail to recognize satire when they see it.

It's definitely satire but, if you read the comments at the source, you'll see a couple of idiots who more or less agree with it.

The problem with satire is differentiating it from reality.
There are people who DO believe such insanities.

Hey, you don’t have to tell me that, believe me. When you have Code Pink morons saying we’re the real terrorists, things have eclipsed satire.

This has just GOT to be satire. I think.

If this isn’t satire it is evidence of insanity!
