[Hidden Content] Some solutions from teachers themselves...from the article: Payge Guenzler, a teacher in Montana, called on parents to become more involved in their children's lives. "What happened today in Texas was horrible," she wrote on Facebook. "As a society we can start blaming politics or being in favor of certain laws or lack of them. We can start pointing fingers and saying it's one sides fault or the other's. It seems like social media allows people to be quite the screen warrior when promoting their opinions... But here is the downright problem of society that I see as an educator... Start parenting your own d--- kids and quit relying on schools, daycares, and the rest of society to do it for you." Rebecca Friedrichs, who was a public school teacher for 28 years and is the founder of For Kids and Country, told Fox News Digital she believes schools need to teach values and morals. "We cannot create enough laws to stop this school shooting problem, we instead need a rebirth of the value of human life that we used to have in this country," she said. "And, beyond human life … in America's schools, we used to teach morals." Friedrichs blamed teachers unions for the change in schools, saying they pushed curriculum that is "divisive." "They have removed the moral compass," she said. "Thanks to the teachers unions and their policies… now you can't really discipline kids who are out of control." Freidrichs said it was "tragic" that the solution may be increasing school resource officers and a police presence on campuses. "Of course, somebody should be able to defend these… innocent victims," she said. "Some force on campus who would hopefully scare off someone who would come to shoot up innocent people."

I've always thought allowing teachers to carry, after going through training, was a good idea. But if someone gets it in their sick mind to do something like this, it would be almost impossible to stop. I think armed teachers could at least minimize damage. Also have specific gates that have to be accessed to enter a campus like a refinery, with campus LE if possible. I understand this would make drop off and pickup more difficult and would take some logistic problem solving but lots of traffic is managed through plant gates. I also understand this would be very costly to implement and maintain. Just throwing it out there.

🤦♂️ Good grief!

He saw it in a movie…turned out fine.

You’re dealing with “45thSucks”. Trump obviously lives in his head.
-
A real sweetheart, that guy.
-
So every person that was going to buy a gun, you would have someone sift through all their social media to look for any kind of warning sign?
-
Possibly, but only by law enforcement. Something like this could be weaponized very easily. Maybe TVC can enlighten us as to whether or not this is done already.
-
It would, I was talking about facebook, twitter, instagram and the like.
-
Just about every shooter that I can recall had warning signals that those around them should have addressed. Parents or relatives chose to ignore them or didn't know what to do about it. I don't recall reading about a sweetheart of a kid one day just snapping, there were always signs. As far as the guns and kids, I feel you are doing your kid a disservice if you leave them alone with no way to protect themselves, that is of course after you have shown them how to use a weapon. Couldn't agree with you more on the pit bull thing.

No way I would go for this. The last thing I would want is some minimum wage government fool deciding on whether or not my social media (don't have any myself) was acceptable. This would be another tool like the IRS that some administration would use to punish someone that posted they were a Trump fan or that biden is an idiot. No way.
-
Which ones are those?
-
These are the two that "true socialist democrats" seem to attack all the time.
-
I wouldn't argue with a gun safety class but it will not stop these animals from doing this.
-
Some of us know our kids are familiar with and can be trusted with guns. I bet the same folks that seem to not trust their kids with a gun are willing to put them behind the wheel of a 5000 pound car at age 15 along with a bunch of other 5000 pound vehicles passing them at 60 mph. If you don't trust your kids with guns, lock them up but don't apply that attitude to everyone. And the Academy thing, that's simply not following the rules we already have, no need for more.
-
What would you change that would stop this?
-
Wouldn’t you agree we have enough gun laws in place already?
-
Sad that when something like this happens, the conversation is immediately focused on guns.
-
Agree with some of this but not all. My kids were taught respect for guns and how to handle them at an early age. They also had access to them as teenagers but knew not to fool with them unless I was with them. I get what you are saying but if a bad guy came in the house, I wouldn’t have wanted them dealing with them with a butter knife.
-
Having trouble understanding? The blame for politicizing this event lies on democrats, not the shooting itself. Can’t get out of your own way, can you?
-
I’ll give you one thing, biden does get lots of votes from folks that want him to have their back. Sad that there are so many losers that are dependent on government, and same losers vote for the crumbs the government gives them so they’ll keep voting for more crumbs . Sad
-
Where did I blame the democrats for this? Not sure why I would expect anything more from INMAGAWETRUST.
-
Nobody blaming anyone, simply pointing out the left if using this to push gun control, which if enacted, would cause more damage. This isn’t both sides, it’s all on democrats.

Roe versus Wade draft seems to overturn

Democrats coming out with their gun control nonsense already. Best defense against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. They know this.
