The tragedy this past week in Uvalde Texas calls for a reassessment of student and teacher protection. This incident is another of several that show that current procedures are not effective. The purpose of this article is to make the case for arming and training teachers (and other school staff) to assist in the defense of students and themselves against the evil of mass shooters.
Here are some factors to consider.
Now some, even some law enforcement officials, will argue that arming teachers introduces more risk to the school environment than currently exists. However, proper and extensive training should mitigate any risk in that regard. If a school resource officer (police guard) can be properly trained, why not a responsible school teacher or other staff member?
It should be noted, that this discussion should not be defined as armed teachers vs resource officer(s) since it is certainly feasible to have both. The innocent lives of our children and teachers demands that we have an open and thorough discussion of this situation.
