I wonder how many students changed their minds about becoming teachers because of what’s been going on over the last few years.

This is a really good point, but I feel like an English teacher would have written "whom I married."

Republicans don’t want freedom, they want to be feared. Because fear is respect to them. And the imbued threat by carrying a gun and the false demand of respect it projects is useless. At no point in human history, regardless of the punishment, has crime of any sort not existed. Carting around guns on every hip won’t change that at all.

This is what I keep saying. If I thought my kids' teachers were evil indoctrinators trying to force an ideology I definitely wouldn't want them to have a gun, and if I thought they were trustworthy enough to have a gun around my child I'd be totally fine with them making any and all decisions about what else they were going to do in that classroom.
Of course, not being an insane person, I actually want them to not need a gun at all and also for them to have the freedom and resources to teach and stock their classroom as they see fit.
Is arming teachers a serious argument by anyone?
Our school (who wasn't actually considering it) said the insurance company would drop our coverage if we allowed armed teachers on pemesis. Honestly, I think I'd quit if I knew someone on staff was concealed carrying. We deal with a lot of shot, but the last thing I want between me and a troubled kid is a gun.

Unfortunately, yes. It is a topic of debate going back decades and typically gets revived after a publicized school shooting.
I’ve been hearing that exact argument since Columbine.
Quite a number of far right idiots are, unfortunately.
It is really sad how many people would trust teachers in a classroom with guns but not books.
