Robbie - well, with a blind person, at least you'd know there's no question of their hitting a random target.
Bill C. - I agree with you, and I would ask, who'd be a teacher with a gun in any case? Your point is valid and pertinent... but I think it's also included in the Venn diagram of "Teachers" and "No guns."
On a tangent, I saw that Betsy DeVos, the Skepticrary of Education held a press conference at the Parkland school today. Not surprisingly, she got booed. A lot. But surprisingly, she called the press conference early and left in a huff.
Secretary of Education - how DARE you walk out on the Parkland Schools press conference? Because you got offended because they booed you? Maybe you don't understand - a year and quarter hasn't shown any awareness - but you are not a person in your professional capacity. You are a government official, with a responsibility to those people who booed at you. You don't get to be offended, you don't get to be insulted,. You get to STAND THERE AND TAKE IT - because that's your job. You represent the leadership in schools. If you can't take the heat, if you can't fulfill your responsibilities, if you don't care enough for education and schools - then maybe you shouldn't be that secretary in the first place, and maybe you should step aside in favor of someone who can do the job.
