Thanks for the welcome! It's kind of a weird area for me - I'm a traditional Christian but as a teacher the principle of religious neutrality has to take precedence (obviously if I ever said that in public there would be hearings I guess! Perhaps an exaggeration). What someone said about bringing his .40 on to campus, the one thing I gotta object to when this comes up is the students.. I don't know what is being proposed and I for one would NOT feel right knowing teenagers could be carrying in school.

teacher12, please understand that Free Republic gets a lot of "interlopers", usually detected by posting a thread on the very same day they signed up. That alone will explain some of the comments on this thread.

Hang in there and watch... You'll find a lot of traditional Christians here.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Did you learn this in your college of education? Really?

It is **impossible** to have a religiously neutral education. It can not exist. It is axiomatic.

I believe in most states, legally teens cannot carry guns; concealed or otherwise.
