3. Gingrich pushes for trained and armed teachers

Feb 2018

Teachers trained and PAID a stipend to carry concealed weapons to stop shooters. It is a sick solution at best, coming from a sick individual pushing a sick and disgusting agenda.

As you note, teachers ARE trained: to teach.

I personally think Smerconish is a prime example of enablement by what about-ism. He spins it as is he is just open to all views, but it comes across -to me- as sensationalistic. Case in point: this story. "Is the problem that teachers aren't trained properly to fight against shooters? - soldiers are. You decide."

F him.
