They keep sending us their thoughts and prayers...

Maybe the teachers union should take some of the billions they’re sitting on and pay for some security at schools

That is a truly mindless statement.
Yeah right, teachers are horribly overpaid, lazy do-nothings.
Get a frigging grip.

They do amazing work for a very modest living.

Can you provide a link to show that there are, or is some teachers union that's "sitting on billions"?

Also - I'm pretty sure I read where there were 2 armed security guards at the Uvalde school, and they were both shot trying to defend the school. (both survived)

That will do little good without addressing the source problems.

The source problem is the breakdown of the traditional family that fathers in the home provide .
 
Or better, use that money to fight the gun lobby and elect senators who will do something.
Guns aren't the problem, and there are so many out there now, gun control makes things worse. There are little reported instances that guns in the hands of legal gun holders have stopped such incidence too.

People who seem not to have a conscious are the problem. People who want power and control are the problem. People who have lost all hope are the problem.

We have multiples lines of failure to have a civilized society.

What makes you think the unions would help? Do you believe that actually care about anything but the riches they collect by maintaining conflict between employees and employers?
 
A scientist, now retired, I think about problems using causality as a guide. I can find no logical connection between 'prayers and condolences' and a significant reduction in deaths by gunshot in the United States of America. This, even when the prayers and condolences are offered by the congresspeople seated in our federal legislature.

Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . 'n un-shot.

If they cared at all about students they would use the unspent funds on security
 
Your link appears to have absolutely zero to do with Teacher's Unions.
And people who think they understand what they speak of are allowed top vote.

No wonder we have the politicians we do.
 
Money on the table is money on the table
How can you make such a claim when you don't even know what you are speaking of?

The Department of Education already overspends. Where is this money coming from?

Hint... Tax payers...

Knee-jerk reactions demanded by ignorant people will do nothing but lead us to a police state.

Do you want a police state?
