Kingsburg Joint Union High School District will now allow teachers to carry guns on campus.
The school board on Monday unanimously approved a new policy that allows up to five district employees – designated by the superintendent – to carry a concealed firearm on school grounds.

Small town, small school district in a mostly conservative town. Local opinions are very mixed. What do you think?

It will be quite an embarrassment, if a teacher shoots a naughty kid.
Yes, because we all know the best way to educate someone is to make them fear for their life. :roll:It won't be embarrassing at all. I bet parents will think twice about letting their unruly and undisciplined kids run amok knowing that teachers are packing.

I was a teacher in public schools for many years, most of those years in high school. I was also the head wrestling coach. For that reason alone, I never had a problem with a student, even a "bad" one. Anyway, I do not think that teachers should be allowed to carry a firearm while on school grounds. The OP asked the question: "What do you think?" That's what I think.

On balance, I do not think firearms need to be in the schools, nor do I necessarily think it is appropriate with teachers at the helm, either.
I know it seems strange but before the idiocy stuck and this stupid law was passed disarming not only teachers but parents guess what? Can you reflect back to 1994 and find any reason to suggest the law was needed and what did it cure? Do you know what it did? Turned schools into the place of choice for nuts, giving them a guaranteed safe shooting gallery with live targets and plenty of time before being disturbed.
Nice swop don't you think? Who got the better of the deal citizens or gun control with a nice source of atrocities to bolster their propaganda?
This reminds me of something a state legislator of mine once recently said. When considering whether or not to issue regulations of seclusion and restraint on kids with behavior problems, there was another bill that would have allowed teachers to carry inside the school. This Senator in question was a big proponent of that latter bill and expressed a thick disdain for students with emotional and behavioral disorders, especially because they were allowed in school. In the same breath as asking whether or not the bill would preclude teachers from disciplining students covered under the seclusion and restraint bill (and as a side note: seclusion and restraint is never supposed to be used to discipline a student), the Senator then asks if a bill on seclusion and restraint would put any restrictions on a teacher being able to use their firearm.
**One could only surmise that the good Senator was asking if it was permissible to shoot such children for being unruly.**
Would you assume it was ok to punch and kick the guy into submission or is this just your bias?

School shootings have neither increased in frequency, nor have they become hot beds for shootings.
Punch and kick a student with an emotional or behavioral disorder that is not otherwise harmful to self or to others? No, I happen to think that's unacceptable and immoral conduct for any authority figure in a school.
Your point is??????????????????
They are the place of choice for mass shootings. That is what I said and that is what I mean. Do you agree with this or not?
Why would you think one would want to shoot a student then?
When they're chosen method to defend themselves conflicts with other's rights to be free from harm, intentional or otherwise.Why should a teacher or anyone for that matter give up a right to defend them-self just because they are on school grounds?
And where will that sentiment be when there is another mass school shooting incident and all the teachers involved have for their and student's defense against the assailants are to throw staplers, books or their own bodies? It would be a very nice sentiment if it had a basis in the world of what is real. Unfortunately, that is not the case.When they're chosen method to defend themselves conflicts with other's rights to be free from harm, intentional or otherwise.
It seems pretty basic.
