=Should Teachers Be Armed for School Safety?=

In the wake of the Parkland, Florida School Shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, 2018 there has been much soul searching and debate about how to make that the last mass school shooting in American History. Among the suggestions has been to train and arm teachers who might be better able than security guards to both deter and deal with active shooter threats in schools.

Here is a link to a Newsela article which explores the idea. Parents and Lawmakers are Deeply Divided over whether to Arm Teachers.

And here is a link to an article in the Sunday, March 18th __Plain Dealer__ that explores how a few schools in Ohio have already taken this step.
