I have several friends who're retired military who have decided to move into the classroom to counter the liberal slop fed our kids. Mostly to counter the liberal doctrine of deliberately teaching kids WHAT to think, rather than HOW to think. For example, after Colombine, the school where I was working at that point had six ex-military. Four were combat arms branched and three of those were Special Forces with all of them having seen extensive combat operations. We agreed that there would be NO Colombines at that school. If we got word there was a "shooter" on campus, we had a rally point at which to meet, form up and find the punks and take them out.
This was a really old school with tons of tight blind corners, nearly impossible to negotiate safely, especially for folks untrained in that art. We reconned the whole school. Knew the choke points, blind spots and hard cover. I never felt the need to keep a firearm in my car, but I knew some of those other guys, did. Had one of them been a chaperon on this field trip, there'd have been one dead "bad guy" on site and he would have fully deserved his fate. I wouldn't have lost a wink of sleep over that.
Wow, never heard of this phenomenon of military folks becoming teachers...there might be hope for the schools after all! Thanks for sharing.
“Had one of them been a chaperon on this field trip, there’d have been one dead “bad guy” on site and he would have fully deserved his fate.”
That was my thinking too. And wouldn’t there have been some parent’s as chaperones on this trip, which would increase the odds of someone being able to defend themselves and the kids?
Do you have sons that my daughters can marry?
Wow. My heroes.
One of the teachers in our local public school was heard saying *If they’d let teachers carry, there’d be 32 less dead students at VA Tech. Teachers should be able to carry.*
Course, many of the kids get together for hunting before and after school hours during hunting season and *ahem* don’t have time go take their rifles home before school, so they sit in their trunks.
BTW, this is NYS.
