NRA Is Right

From the Detroit Free Press: The school safety project funded by the National Rifle Association released a series of recommendations Tuesday aimed at making schools safer, including a firearms training program for teachers and other school staff.
But teachers unions and others in Michigan's educational community said they fear arming school employees actually would make buildings more dangerous.
The release of the National School Shield report comes a week before the U.S. Senate is scheduled to take up a package of gun-related bills in response to the December shooting in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 schoolchildren and six educators were killed by a gunman.  http://www.freep.com/article/20130403/NEWS05/304030074/Michigan-teachers-unions-blast-NRA-funded-proposals-to-arm-school-staff
The last two schools I have worked at, in rural Wisconsin and urban Las Vegas, we have had polioce officers assigned to each school and things at our schools are calm and with no major problems.
When I worked for the Milwaukee Public Schools, there no school police and just a few security personnel.
We had teacher's beaten up, fights all over the place and major problems.  And Milwaukee Schools are not that better off as they seem to have a riot a month at a local high school.
It makes sense to have a police officer in a school and if not an officer, someone who is trained to fight off intruders, like those in Columbine and Sandy Hook.
But as usual, the Teacher's Union goes with the extreme liberal position: "We don't need more guns in schools. We need schools to be gun-free. Introducing more weapons into schools is just a recipe for more tragedy," Doug Pratt, director of public affairs for the Michigan Education Association, said Tuesday. The MEA is the largest school employee union in the state.
It would really be nice if the teacher's union would stop humping liberal positions and politicians and actually think about what they are talking about.
