This article references a shooting covered at this link:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nationa ... -1.3136179
Three years ago, after passage of the campus carry laws in Texas, I opted to resign my full-time college teaching position. At the time, after going through active shooter training and drills on how to handle an armed student in the classroom, I felt, as so many teachers feel, that dealing with guns in classrooms was just one more thing in an already demanding profession.

In a previous generation, his type objected to Negroes in "their" colleges. The best thing is for them to resign from teaching their outdated prejudice and find a "safe space" where they can deny reality.
God, grant me serenity to accept the things I can't change
Courage to change the things I can
And the firepower to make a difference.

Joanna Cattanach is a journalism teacher in Dallas and a Democratic nominee for state representative.
Wonder if she listed this free political ad from Dallas News in her campaign finance reports? That’s all this is, nothing new, same old leftist crap.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

She is a snowflake, and thinks all other teachers are, as well.

I am currently working with a school system in central Texas. They have identified 7 administrators (including the Supt) and 11 teachers (including a 1st grade teacher and a school nurse) who will either carry a gun daily, or have one in a lockbox in their classroom. They train as a group regularly, have walk-in privileges at a local range, and take active shooter training. The school provides Glock 19s and Hornady ammo for everyone, and pays for training. BTW, these folks can shoot. They can all easily pass the LTC Proficiency at the instructor level, and 2 of the first 11 I worked with could pass the FBI Agent Qualification the first time.

They are serious, as is the school system. Every classroom on 4 campuses has a steel bar to drop across the door, a can of Mace, and a radio, plus the armed teachers.

Don't let the Socialist snowflakes confuse you; schools in Texas can be made hard targets, with the right administrators, the right policies, and a few good people.

The political strategy of, "The reason our liberal policies are failing is because you aren't funding them heavily enough."
Lack of money has not been the cause of any of these shootings, and no amount of money will buy integrity for school administrators.

:iagree: Stop wasting taxpayer money enforcing laws that reduce school safety. Repeal 46.035 completely. Update 46.15 so 46.02 and 46.03 do not apply to anyone issued a license under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, to carry a handgun.
