Schools nationwide are debating President Trump’s 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.

Will they be issued slings and five smooth stones, each? More importantly, will they be allowed to learn about God in school?
A gun is always the best option, I just worry about some stupid teacher leaving their gun somewhere or a kid taking it away from a teacher. Schools could drop a bunch of assemblies and having in-service sessions where they learn about diversity and instead hire 1-2 uniformed officers per school. With all the drugs and fighting going on in many schools, their day would be filled. You could also use the officers as teachers of criminal justice and driver’s ed and kill two birds with one stone.
The Luddite educators want a return to the ‘Stone Age’ hence their love for their false meme of Native American life.
but bullets travel at thousands of feet per second and rocks go so slow...
....a few months back grammar school kids were painting river rocks with nice messages and just leaving them in
parks etc.
If you really think about it, that’s probably good for national security in a way.
There was a prison show where they asked the small guy if he was constantly raped. He said, “No. I don’t wipe.” Ew. Effective strategy, but I’m sure the prison wouldn’t really allow it.
...and slingshots.
As we all read some weeks ago, some believe that a pistol round is too slow to defeat an Armalite Rifle (AR). So now they believe rocks are faster than an AR?
Next up: slingshots?
when rocks are outlawed, only outlaws will have rocks
SLINGSHOTS.
With steel bearings.
I’ve worked with counter terrorism expert and Yamam Commander Itay Gil, and we teach the kids to throw books, backpacks, chairs, turn tables and rush the shooter. This is taught in a half hour and practiced. The kids just beat the crap out of our padded and helmeted shooter. Teach this once per semester in every school and the would be shooter kid might think twice.
So does he mean Sling Shots, or just a few rocks in their pockets????????????
HA! That caused me to snort some liquid!
The teacher leading from front protecting his/her students with the APPROPRIATE response is more prudent.
Pet rocks. Will they each get their own rock? Can they name their rocks? Can they paint and dress their rocks? What will the admin do if the brown rocks don’t want to be in the same bucket as the yellow rocks? What happens when the black rocks gang up and pound on white rocks? Does everyone get the exact same size rock or will some be skinny and others obese? Who would want one that looks like it has zits?
Can you take your rock home to protect you on the school bus? Or will the bus driver issue bus rocks? Who will be responsible for rocks that think they can fly and get hit by other vehicles on the road?
I thought kids were now supposed to hide in closets when the gunman starts shooting, so are they supposed to peek around the door and throw rocks at him or all stand up straight in a single line down the hallway and throw at him? Or will they do it British style where the front line kneels so the gunman can have an easier shot at the second row?
Will classes be held for proper rock throwing. Will they get graded for technique and aim or will everyone get a participation ribbon?
What will be the punishment for those who do modifications to turn their rocks into arrow heads or spears? I mean, those can be dangerous weapons.
These things have to be worked out in advance and have the parents sign off that they’ve read the take home forms. What happens when that one parent decides to complain or say it’s against their religion? Will that be required to present his written excuse to the gunman and be excused to go to study hall?
What comes to mind is Kirk making an improvised cannon out of bamboo and shooting diamonds at the lizard guy.
Firdt off, give the kids diamonds.....
Also, saltpeter,sulfur and charcoal. If you mix these in the proper amounts,as Kirk did, you have gunpowder.
