Meanwhile; SOUTH of the Mason-Dixon line...

Ya shudda done yer HOMEWORK; PUNK!!

[jazminerose]

Sounds like a headline from The Onion.

[Elsie]

Even if teacher has a gun..

At LEAST a squirt gun...

...with AMMONIA in it!!

[Hot Tabasco]

Those are souvenir bats without the team name......LOL!

[JonPreston]

Pennsylvania liberals are really thinking out of the box.

Any conservative who sends their child to school at such a place should prepare themselves for horrific news.

[Elsie]

The Education section of the Department of Homeland Security today demonstrated the latest weapon in the ever growing arsenal of tools to repel undocumented classroom boarders.

[Robert DeLong]

Is that so they can hit the rocks they were given last month?

[Elsie]

...the answer..bringing a bat to a gunfight...

You'd better have SILVER bullets in that thing;

else your ass is MINE!!!

[Caipirabob]

Little Billy: TEACHER! TEACHER! THERE'S AN ACTIVE SHOOTER IN THE HALL!

Teacher: Don't worry, little Billy, with this baseball bat, I can beat you to death before he gets here so you won't eve feel the bullets!

My initial reaction:

[rlmorel]

That was my thought as well. Anything is better than nothing.

But locking them up? Geez.

[rlmorel]

LOL, they weren’t fungo bats, were they?

That was something I never understood...they used to give those out at baseball games...what could possibly go wrong?

[USS Alaska]

Better than nothing.

Nope, nothing but a 'feel good' we did our job, pile of horseshit.

A school shooter has a gun and you don't have access to a locked up 16" toy stick.

You have nothing but a key to a locker that is somewhere in a class room.

Spare the 'better than nothing' tripe.

If these people want to arm the teachers, then arm them with guns, not a damn little stick.

[rlmorel]

Hey! I’m eatin’ breakfast here! (oatmeal on screen...)

“I would submit that the NEA kills 100% more kids...”

Yep. The NEA and their pubic scool teacher minions promote sex, homosex and Planned Parenthood — spreading STDs and killing babies in the womb.

[Elsie]

Get them in two; yes TWO! different colors!!

[rlmorel]

Everyone would readily agree a firearm is best, but...a full sized baseball bat at the ready with the will to use it as a weapon is nothing to be trifled with, but...after reading it, not these little things, locked up in a room?

No.

And they spent $1600 on this? Who are these people?

[Oscar in Batangas]

Now batting, The Typing teacher
She swings, she misses!
Shooter 5, Teacher 0

On deck, the French Teacher
She swings, she misses!
Shooter 10, Teachers 0

Fans, the home team is getting massacred today

[greenishness]

If that’s all they have then they probably should wrap the bat in barbed wire.
