A bill that would allow some Tennessee teachers to carry a gun at school is heading to Gov. Bill Lee’s desk.
HB 1202/SB 1325 has drawn heavy attention from parents, teachers, students and law enforcement. The bill would allow specially-trained teachers to carry handguns in their classrooms. Under the bill, parents would not know whether their child’s teacher was armed or not.
The kids should be allowed to open-carry as well. Also, the lunch servers and janitors.
Only fair.
In the old days kids were allowed to bring guns to school, some schools had shooting ranges even.
Not so long ago when I was in school we were allowed to have guns in our cars on school property. We’d go out to our cars at lunch and inspect each other’s wares, then after school we’d go to state or private land and shoot them.
The problem isn’t guns, its the current generation of moronic maladjusted people, that our public institutions are shitting out, that can’t handle having rights and freedoms responsibly.
I’m having trouble understanding how this is the “public institution’s” fault. Which public institutions?
It’s the public institutions that keep defunding education, healthcare and social safety nets in order to give tax breaks to billionaires and fast-track aid to Israel.
See, here’s my confusion: I understand public institutions to include public schools, libraries, etc. that serve the public interest via taxes. I cannot imagine they have any interest in defunding themselves to be replaced by private institutions (with the exceptions of political appointees such as Postmaster DeJoy).
Starve the beast? It’s a pretty common right wing tactic. Cut funding for public programs, say they don’t work, then privatize them.
Maybe it’s different public institutions that are defunding the other institution you mentioned?
Ohh yeah those good old days. Damn man i wish they would bring them back with all the raping, murderibg and thieving that was way worse. /s
You can stick you anecdotal evidence where the light light never shines grandpa.
