Training teachers to carry firearms in schools has often been proposed as a deterrent to would-be mass shooters targeting schoolchildren, but the leadership of the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers have loudly opposed the idea, saying the solution is"not more" guns.
"I don’t know how many more times I have to say this: The answer to gun violence is not 'more guns,'" Weingarten wrote."No amount of training can prepare a teacher to go up against an AR-15. An educator's job is to educate." "The most dangerous idea in the American education system is that arming teachers or school staff is an effective solution to an active shooter incident," the report says."Everytown, AFT, and NEA strongly urge, as a matter of student safety, that schools reject attempts to arm teachers and instead focus on proven solutions that intervene to prevent shootings."
THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE TEACHER WHO HEARD GUNFIRE OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL, BREACHED SCHOOL SECURITY, PROPPED A DOOR OPEN AND ENABLED THIS ACTIVE SHOOTER EASY ENTRY INTO THE SCHOOL TO SHOOT AND KILL INNOCENT CHILDREN & TEACHERS.
