    School teachers carrying firearms and readied for gun battles in grade school classrooms is a level of social pathology that signals the end of any viable, coherent society. Travel such a path, and the barbarism and fearmongering of the American abattoir can only accelerate.

        It gives me chills to imagine Baltimore schools filled with armed teachers.

        Plato's The Republic addressed education with respect to wisdom and justice. And here were are, talking about education and guns. And apparently we're the civilized, advanced society? Ridiculous.

        Cruz was able to escape because he blended in with the other students. So teachers shout just aim randomly and hope for the best. Consider it a lesson in probability.

        ‘Social pathology’ is an excellent term for this - giving our society a ‘diagnosis’ greatly hinders our ability to grow and evolve

        This is what the NRA has approved for him to propose. More gun sales! YESSSSSS!

        The idea to systematically arm teachers isn’t about keeping the students safe. It’s about opening up a whole new market for the gun manufacturers and giving the contract to provide the weapons to cronies.

        Imagine the support gun manufacturers and the NRA would put behind regulations for teachers... 🤑🤑🤑 They're salivating at the idea. 🙄
