Schools nationwide are debating President Trumps call to arm teachers and security guards with guns while one Pennsylvania school is getting attention for its last line of defense.
Blue Mountain School District Superintendent David Helsel made headlines recently after testifying to lawmakers at the state capitol that his students could be armed with rocks in case of an active shooter lockdown.

Like native Americans against the Europeans? That will work out well.
Why not. Robbers have knocked out with cans of soup...
Now angry, medicated, bullied students can help himself to some of those school-district-provided rocks and throw them at teachers and students whenever they please. Dumber than dumb School Board members who approved this stupid idea.
No, give them M2 HandGrenades to tjrow>
Dont expect owebama to hit anyone with a rock.
I had the priviledge recently to visit a 5th grade class and tell them about rocks. I took some big rocks to illustrate igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary.
I was surprised to see their collection. It consisted of very very small rocks. My specimens were big........
So, if the chunking sized rocks are properly selected, they can be used in the science education. They would be a considerable advance over the gravel sized specimens
Can I have the window replacement contract for this school district?
Why don’t they provide stone throwing lessons from Palestinians while they’re at it.
Do it in Chicago and see what happens.
Throw your damn book....
...so, arm them with prehistoric weapons to fight against 21st century weapons - brilliant!
Rocks are only good against a scissor attack and completely vulnerable to paper assault.
Are they going to teach the kids how to throw rocks accurately. Or, will it be like basic gun safety training they give, none?
Another idiot liberal idea.
This when they know staplers are the best choice...
Throw their switch blades!
Maybe instead of rocks they can throw poop on active shooters..its stinky and effective
There are door jamming devices that would require 1,000slbs of force to break, and with a solid wood door it would be impossible to breech. You can also use a fire extinguisher as a weapon. Spray it in the person’s face and then bash them over the head. A teacher could keep a can of bear spray in every class room. A letter opener or pair of scissors make a great stabbing weapon. Basically anything can become a weapon with a little imagination.
How about just a gun?
