Harry followed up by saying he thought a good solution was getting a "colored" to stand guard at the school entrances because they were "imposing".

If he were doing that, wouldn't he be advocating for men to be teachers and not women?

I agree with him.  I don’t trust the majority of them to teach my children.  I can’t imagine giving the fruitcakes a gun!

I don't think women are able to buy guns on their own. Don't they need their husband, brother, or father to buy it for them?

I really don't know.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
