and no one is talking about arming all the teachers and you know it... you're being 'reactionary' we are talking about making a real life decision to protect our children, and taking action to follow through on the decision. this isn't about pie in the sky.... Jewish schools in the LA area are armed... ever hear any problems about that?

which brings me to this point: why not hire qualified teachers?
