TAKE ACTION: Arm Teachers and Staff in PA Schools

[SevenMilePete]

A relative asked for donations to Everytown gofundme for her birthday. One of the major aims of Everytown is fighting against arming teachers. Well, not really fighting, because they don't do that. But they want laws against it. Because teachers aren't trained and may hurt their students, the gun mat be taken by a student, or the teacher may have to defend their students from a former student, and couldn't shoot at him. I know, all BS, but many people really believe all their BS.

Thanks to everyone for taking action on this.

No it'd be a disaster because of all the mentally ill gender warriors that teach in schools these days. You know how "susceptible" those types are to offing themselves.

Sent regardless.

Related to your point and a side note. At an in service day, we had local PD discuss live shooter drills. They mentioned at least 6 times that they were later going to fire some 9mm blanks in the hallway. Then the time came, and they mentioned about 3 more times what they were doing. Then like a one minute warning when they walked out in the hallway.

When the first shot was fired, I thought about 30% of the staff was going to either cry, urinate and/or defecate themselves, or have heart attacks or strokes. Many flinched uncontrollably. Repeat for rounds 2 and 3. The group I was sitting with just sat there with our arms crossed.

It's unclear from the article. Does the bill remove the decision from administrators and allow the individual teachers to decide for themselves?

I think there are already some school districts allowing teachers to be armed. Although I'm unaware of the outcome from the law suits against them.

Yes, the teacher or staff makes the decision to be armed. There are no armed teachers in Pennsylvania. The law needs to be changed in order to permit that. There was one district that attempted it but they realized it was illegal and abandoned the project.

The first order of business should be to stop recognizing teachers unions.

So the school admins don't need to approve the teacher? I'm asking because if the admins have to approve, then many districts will still be screwed.

Can you share the law that makes it illegal for teachers to be armed? I remember hearing about a lawsuit, but I couldn't find the law that makes it illegal.
