"I don't want to have guns in classrooms, although in some cases teachers should have guns in classrooms, frankly. Because ...things that are going on in our schools are unbelievable. I'm not advocating guns in classrooms. But remember in some cases...trained teachers should be able to have guns in classrooms."---Donaldus Minimus.
You know, I sort of have to give Donaldus Minimus this one, with a codicil:
I'd be all in favour of armed teachers. It'd go a long way toward preventing future Columbines . . . and, while
we're at it, keep more than a few politically correct administrators and school boards in line. (Such administrators
and school boards can submit
their requests to be armed in stamped, self-addressed envelopes.)
The codicil: We just have to make the teachers promise that, no matter
how tempting it might be, they are
not allowed to shoot students
merely for being @$$holes . . . (if every student @$$hole got shot, the schools would
probably be three-quarters empty!) . . .
Advisory: Just because one smart thing came out of his mouth and/or his head (the two are not mutually
joined, of course), it doesn't mean I'm going over the wall otherwise . . . ;)
