        That is why we train. More good guys/gals with guns = less bad people.

        Ahhh there always has to be at least one negative Nancy in the crowd. That’s why they are training is exactly right, at least they are finding solutions rather than still pouting. Way to go, Texas!

        MORE guns is NOT the answer. Just think about what you are doing! Arming teachers? Anyone that has ever sat through a faculty meeting knows this is NOT a good idea.

        Clueless. The classroom is stressful enough without adding that component.

        Texas teachers are facing 25% increases in health insurance premiums for the upcoming year, something we desperately need more than this program

        Yes, the Affordable Care Act has been a disaster. Our business has experienced 20% increases each of the last 3 years.

        Are you saying that Texas Teachers' health insurance premiums are going up because of the Affordable Care Act?

        I’m a teacher in Texas; I do not want to be armed. There are cops and security guards for that.

        As is your right. That’s why the initiative is for teachers who WANT to be armed. And also for school Marshall’s which would mean teachers don’t need to be. Read much?

        Dear Governor teachers need better salaries, they don’t need to be armed. Schools need money not guns! 🤦🏽‍♀️

        Not just armed teachers. QUIT DISARMING MOMS AND DADS! A licensed firearm owner should be able to carry ANYWHERE that is paid for with tax dollars. Respect our God-given rights, @GovAbbott #endgunfreezones #2A

        Yes he did. We have a God given right to defend our loved ones, including the right to own guns. Deuteronomy talks at length about when we may use deadly force, and Jesus commanded his discipled to buy and carry military grade weaponry.
