I sincerely hope the family of the first child killed in Houston, Texas’ Harrold Independent School District will be comforted by those words from Superintendent David Thweatt. See, the School Board just approved- unanimously – a plan to allow teachers to carry guns in the classroom. Teachers who wish to bring guns will have to be certified to carry a concealed handgun in Texas and get crisis training and permission from school officials, said Thweatt.

Will the first kid get shot by a stray bullet because two teachers get into a lovers’ spat? Will he or she die because the Biology teacher has had his fill of cry-babies that don’t want to dissect a frog? Will the child die because another kid wanted to play a practical joke on his least favorite teacher and it “backfired”?

Well, there are any number of scenarios to choose from. You put loaded guns in the hands of teachers, some child is going to get shot. It’s just common sense…
