...Arm the teachers...

Ho, ho, ho...... giving guns to pacifists is a total waste of effort. They would surrender them in the first 5 seconds of an encounter in order to appease.

I am to the right of Free Republic, and I teach. By the way, there ARE a number of conservative teachers. You'll just never see or hear them in the media.
A main reason it is not sensible to arm teachers, as I have posted elsewhere, is the responsibility to safeguard a firearm in a room full of children cannot fall to girls in their early 20s with some quick rush training procedure. However I am all for having a good number of key personnel armed.

Exactly. The NEA would never go for it, anyway.
