1. Imagine if teachers were armed ... n/t

2. Anyone who thinks arming teachers is a good idea

Either doesn’t know enough teachers, hasn’t worked in a school, or is a total moron.

3. I was a teacher for over 15 years

and had to stop right after Sandy Hook but my friends are still teachers. One of them told me that some of the teachers in his high school in Southern CA support arming teachers. I was shocked. I asked him if he discussed it with them and he said he hadn't really. He doesn't like confrontations. If I were there it would have been a different story. Of course I got into trouble for voicing my opinion more than once in my life but I would have "schooled" those moronic teachers.
