Oklahoma Will Consider Law Allowing Teachers To Bring Guns To School

27. Instead of dumping the gun responsibility on their warhorse teachers, they could take a look at

other states, other cities. For example, Chicago. There are over 600 elementary schools there and probably around 100 high schools there. In the elementary schools, there are security guards at the school entrances. In the high schools there are, in addition to security guards, metal detectors and scanners of book bags. In any case, it's not all dumped on teachers at either level, whose job is instruction and promoting a learning climate, not the fear-ridden climate of a gun culture.

Also, at the high school level, all adults and students wear visible ID's at all times, since the mobility of high schoolers in and out of buildings is much greater. It seems like a much easier, more obvious solution for all these states trying to force teachers to carry guns. It really seems as if this is a manipulative attempt by these gun-ridden states to tip the public opinion scale to discourage the functionality of schools so much that they'll just want to shut down public schools.
