President Donald Trump has suggested that arming some teachers would help to stop deadly school shootings. But in a viral #ArmMeWith rallying cry, educators are calling on political leaders to arm them with they really need: books and school supplies as well as time and resources.
Teachers Olivia Bertels and Brittany Wheaton created the movement, USA Today reported.

Federal government supplying books is wrong on so many levels. The federal government needs to be out of education.
Yeah, the kids can hold up those books to deflect the bullets coming at them.
Does it have to be one or the other? What idiots. “Teachers” means one or two malcontents that the MSM is willing to parade around.
More money is always the answer for the unions. They can never get enough, even if we dedicated the entire budget to education, they would want more. If money made better schools, big cities would be leading the education revolution and everyone would be flocking to those schools. What a bad joke.
Based on the latest test scores, many students have yet to crack a book and study.
I thought Obama filled schools to the eyeballs with books and school supplies

The government is out of education.
But they are heavily into INDOCTRINATION!
This ignorance is what is teaching our children, folks. These people are “teachers”.
What they are are the poster children for why we need school choice, vouchers, etc. to allow parents to get their kids an actual quality education.

In other words, they want more dead children.
And we spend far, far more than most developed countries per pupil with far less positive results for the money.
Dead kids don’t need books. The safety of the Children is step one.
Yes, if poor Nicholas had just been given more books and pencils, this tragedy would never have happened.
Superintendents get fat 6-figure salaries, teacher get gold-plated health insurance benefits, and school districts spend tens of millions on each new school.
And we have to hold bake sales to buy pencils for the kids?
What is wrong with this picture?
What would they do; how would they teach anything without the teachers editions to provide them with lesson plans, suggested assignments and test/question/problems answer.
Actually teaching is not what they went to school for after all.
I see the results of their “teaching” on a daily basis and it is apparent that they don’t really teach much.
Ask the 6 dead adults at Sandy Hook, who shielded 20 students with their unarmed bodies how they would vote if only they could have a do-over.
“...educators are calling on political leaders to arm them with they really need: books and school supplies...”
Books and supplies are up to the school districts to provide. Instead, most have bloated administrative budgets with salaries of administrators way above the national median income.
It’s the parents’ jobs to make sure their kids have the proper supplies - when I was young, the schools supplied some items (being in Catholic schools, my parents paid for them anyway) and later on, in public schools, art departments and such had supplies, but the budgets weren’t being diverted to so many non-scholastic liberal issues back then - we bought and supplied our own paper/pencils/binders and such and reused text books until they fell apart.....still got great educations back then and learned to do what it takes to develop our own sense of self-worth...
Libtards dont give a rip about dead children. They know gun control doesnt work. If it worked, theyd have passed it when they had iron fisted control of all three branches.
They will gleefully sacrifice the lives of innocent children if it brings them one step closer to disarming us.
