    How about arming teachers with things they really need, like books, technology, & school supplies instead of using federal funds to weaponize classrooms? The Trump-DeVos #gunsforteachers plan is a bad idea that would cheat kids out of educational resources & make them less safe.

        Classrooms are already weaponized. The only option besides giving teachers & administrators the *choice* of self defense is to MAKE children & teachers powerless against a killer @LogRhode @BlueStateRedLad @RISelfDefense @GaspeeProjectRI @gebr71 @NewportLost #RIpoli #RI

        So @senjackreed your saying that all of the money is going strictly to purchase firearms for every school that receives funding?

        Why doesn't Rhode Island give books to students instead of working off photo copies and no homework? They get less than an education!

        My wife and I made a distinction after watching my stepson go thru past. School system.We entered our daughter into charter lottery. We got lucky. K-12 uniforms, no union bs, books 6 nights of HW, science projects, music, sports. Best testing scores in RI. Discipline, best choice

        Totally agree. This teacher will never carry a firearm in school. Give me what I need to educate my students, not a gun.

        You’ve had decades as our senator to make sure our teachers have what they need. All of a sudden it’s important to you? This is party politics and nothing more.

        We already have guns in school because most schools have armed Police Officers. There are thousands of school personal who are certified gun owners. You don't bring a slingshot to a gun fight.

        The emphasis on guns in schools will inspire a person on the edge to do something horrible.

        And I would imagine it would probably have to come out of the education budget which is already under attack not good for the students. As a parent I want schools to be gun free.

        Also also this feels like a good time to mention that paying for public schools with local property taxes is a major hindrance to any kind of upward mobility. It's unfair.

        You do realize in RI the AG built a 15 million dollar office and won't tell where the 180 million Google settlement was spent that a citizen had to spend 3750 of her own money for the documents ... They still haven't been released
