When did big government solutions become a conservative ideal?
Cowardice is a powerful motivator.
Just let the teachers/principalsparents carry guns (even if they need to take a course first), no need for more employees
Frankly, I’d answer no and select the alternative arming of school staff, which wasn’t an option, if I had the choice.
If we consider the per person cost broken down across 600 parents at the Newtown school, for instance, the fee would be rather minimal if training and arming only five teachers was the outcome, and they were simply paid a monthly stipend for become part of a on site security team.
I’m not convinced these staff would demand increased pay. They might do it out of sense of devotion to the children as long as their certification/equipment costs were covered.
There are very low impact resolutions to this problem if people truly look for them with a reasoned mind.
Don’t expect this to emanate from Washington. (I’m sure you don’t...)
