HOUSTON (Reuters) – A Texas school district will let teachers bring guns to class this fall, the district's superintendent said on Friday, in what experts said appeared to be a first in the United States.
The board of the small rural Harrold Independent School District unanimously approved the plan and parents have not objected, said the district's superintendent, David Thweatt.
School experts backed Thweatt's claim that Harrold, a system of about 110 students 150 miles northwest of Fort Worth, may be the first to let teachers bring guns to the classroom.
Thweatt said it is a matter of safety.
"We have a lock-down situation, we have cameras, but the question we had to answer is, 'What if somebody gets in? What are we going to do?" he said. "It's just common sense."

I have not been back to the forum for awhile, but I've noticed that no matter what article, it gets posted about 5 plus times. Seems like I've seen this article posted and re-posted (along with other articles) several times since this morning. It's the same every day. It's difficult to start a thread of comments when there is a dozen postings of the same article/topic to choose from.
Is this a new policy here on FR? It doesn't take long to fill up page after page.
“It’s just common sense.”
Hasrd to argue with that.

It’s difficult to start a thread of comments when there is a dozen postings of the same article/topic to choose from. ((Nature of the beast, I hear ya tho, it’s not unusual to to see a burst of certain articles get slung up time and time again... some one liners, others full text body. Ya got to jump in on “the original thread” when its hot or take left-overs and the lean pickings later on, some folks like a later less cluttered thread too, keep in mind))
Is this a new policy here on FR? It doesn’t take long to fill up page after page. ((No, not really, over the years I have seen a somewhat relaxed style, if you will, that is usually pretty respective of the varied types of posters we have here.))
((That’s what makes it unique in a way too.))

‘posted earlier’ was a complimentary no fees attached link of convenience to a one liner posted several hours earlier in the day.

How any governmental entity can "let" someone carry a gun is beyond me.
