4 thoughts on “Few schools take lawmakers up on allowing staff, teachers to carry firearms

  1. Just another indication of how out of touch the Republican super majority is in the Indiana legislature. Did anyone ever talk to school administrators and teachers to get their thoughts on this? Obviously not, because if they had this program would never have been embraced and enacted.

    1. I was going to say the same thing – so out of touch; providing “solutions” that no schools want.

    2. It’s yet another example of Indiana losing interest in something as soon as it costs real money.

      “It is to the point where we’re going to have to cannibalize other programs or we’re going to have to raise taxes. At what point do people stop and say, ‘How big do I want government to be? So we have to start looking at solutions outside the box, which this is.”

      If it’s so important to “make schools safe”, then properly fund it with school resource officers. Don’t do it on the cheap. Raise the taxes and tell people “we are doing this to have adequate numbers of armed police in schools”.

  2. Great way to address the growing gun culture problem among today’s youth, arm teachers and school administrators. More guns everywhere. That will teach them.
