Newsom looks like a college basketball coach.

However, he's probably slightly less sleazy than the average college basketball coach.

The sleaziness is probably a push.

Trump would love this. When he loses, he'd just sue California and say the election was illegal, and he'd get to remain president indefinitely.

i don't say this lightly . . . what a dick.

it's not his job or privilege to make a decision like this. this is the exact opposite of free speech/expression.

Maybe. Proper security could be expensive.

Something has to be done though.

think of all the teachers you've had in your school career. how many of them do you think could handle a gun properly in a high stress situation?

Do what exactly?

What’s going to happen when one of these “armed” teachers decides they feel threatened by a student.  

It’s just a fuc*king stupid idea.  Asking for trouble.

Fucks sake.  I had Mr. Fujuta in Jr. High and he sat with us all facing him top of the bleachers with his left nut hanging out of his shorts.  He would be the first one who needed to get shot.

Every day in my mind.  He liked to hover around while we all showered also.  When you are 13-14 years old you just think Coach F is cool but later realize that guy had issues.  Do not arm him, he was already packing in his own head. 

 

Moral of my story here is to think the "coach" is the guy you need to arm who will save the day is lame.

The teachers job is to teach, not school security. I fully support armed personnel on school campuses but it shouldn't be the teachers.

It's a better idea than when they thought up Bud Light Lime.

I don't know Tank.  When I hear security, a few things come to mind.  Unarmed.  Not good enough to be a cop.  Higher chance to run.  Higher chance to shoot themselves or others by accident.  

 

My sister in law is 'security'.

She's 400 pounds, lives in a motel with her kids, and brags about catching perps at K Mart.

Disagree. I would support anyone in a position of authority at a school arming themselves if they have the desire and mental capacity to acquire the proper training. And since teachers are by definition supposed to be intelligent, that shouldn't be too big of an ask.

I look at it a little differently.  Just because a teacher is packing, doesn't mean they are going to go about doing security duties.  IMO, what this will mean is that in a lockdown situation, the teacher will be the absolute last line of defense, when he's holed up in a classroom with 20 kids.  As it stands right now, they are fish in a barrel, waiting for some deranged maniac to break down the door and playing duck duck goose.

disagree completely.

my life is spent guiding these kids and going through all of their 'stuff' with them as they try to figure out life. to suddenly turn that off and be willing to put three in the chest of an intruder (who VERY likely is a former student) is asking me to turn off my compassion and history with that kid.

i don't want to be in that position, and i don't know any colleagues who would, either.

if it's that big a concern, hire security people for this kind of work.

Understandable, but the fact is that when it comes down to it, if you or a colleague were invaded in your full classroom by a deranged person you could either stand there and get shot or defend yourself and your students that you obviously care for. Which is the preferable option?

Also, surely there are plenty of teachers out there already in the world who like to shoot guns as a hobby and who are responsible, who would love to have the extra security in their classrooms by way of being armed.
