School Districts Across the Country Are Arming Teachers
ABC News is reporting that a Texas school district has approved teachers being armed with guns to protect their students.
Now they are not saying the teachers can just walk into a gun store and start carrying on campus. No, the teachers have to follow standard firearms purchase procedures and get trained and qualify for a concealed weapons permit.
This is exactly what the NRA was demonized for after the infamous Sandy Hook incident, and what millions of Americans believe will make our schools safer. So it is happening in school districts across the country but where is the national media attention now? This will hopefully inspire other school districts to do the same. Our children all deserve equal protection under the constitution. The video report is below.
Ben Waldron wrote the following: “Educators in a Texas school district will soon be permitted to carry guns in the classroom, assuming they get approval from the school superintendent, pass a training course and obtain a concealed-handgun license.
The Levelland Independent School District, which is about 30 miles west of Lubbock, instituted the policy in response to last year’s deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., as well as the shooting at the Aurora, Colo., movie theater.
“How do you describe a tragedy like that? It’s devastating,” Levelland ISD Superintendant Kelly Baggett told ABC News, referencing the Sandy Hook massacre. “It absolutely instilled fear in all of us and made us take a hard look at where we are with our safety and security.”
