I’m against it.
We should arm principles and existing school officials. We don’t need new government employees.

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
At first glance, the “COPS in Schools” doesn’t seem as if it is designed for armed security police as much as it is a community outreach program. “Police are human, too!!”
Yes, there would be police in and around the schools at times, but the seems to be acting more in a PR position rather than full-time ‘at the doors’ security personnel.
Let me know if I have this wrong.
Not a fan of the NRA nor of militarized government institutions.
The issue for me is mental health and treatment of persons with mental health problems. If it is not safe to allow them access to firearms then they also should not have access to knives or cars, and should be under confinement until that changes.
That being said, I have a lot of questions about what happened at Newtown. I saw a CNN clip the other day in which one of the “parents” was smiling and laughing until he approached the podium to make a statement, and then suddenly his demeanor changed to sorrow, sadness etc. It was one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen. Has anyone else seen this clip, and if so, what did you make of it?
