“If I have an aggressive kid in my class and he gets a hold of my gun, what then?” asked one teacher.
Florida is drawing closer to allowing its teachers to carry potentially lethal weapons in the classroom — a prospect that has some educators feeling relieved while others remain perplexed.
The Parkland, Florida, shooting became the deadliest school shooting since December 14, 2012, when gunman Adam Lanza shot and killed two dozen young children and adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, before taking his own life. Gay Valimont, who volunteers with the Florida Chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America pushed for opposition to the bill.
“When I confronted the school about anything regarding school safety — they never took it seriously,” she said. “You’re asking teachers who aren’t trained on a daily basis and whose main job is not about keeping the public safe to make the same kind of judgment calls” as police do, she explained.
