US: I wonder how we can get rid of this issue where people shoot up schools
World that has no such issues: less guns
US: Perhaps we need more guns in schools
World: no, less-
US: Yes, the issue is inadequate guns
So we want teachers to be social workers, mental health experts and now soldiers armed w/ guns. When will they teach? Also, what happens the first time a teacher feels threatened by a student and pulls their gun? #TeachersAndGunsDontMix
@johnpavlovitz@NRA@GOP It isn’t even five million gun zealots. It is gun manufacturers who provide the bulk of the funding. NRA doesn’t lobby for 2nd amendment rights, it lobbies for laws that result in the most guns being sold.
@johnpavlovitz@NRA@GOP I just wonder, how many times and for how long would we have to watch these measures fail before we finally get COMMON SENSE into the equation. #VoteThemOut
Former President Obama calls for legislative action on gun control, saying it's "long overdue," in wake of the Florida high school shooting that left 17 people dead https://t.co/gLRvi592M5
If we aren't safe, academics don't matter. It shouldn't be just going through the motions of a drill--It should be a regular topic at your school and continually get better. It's not comfortable, but that's too bad. #SafeSchools
No words, no actions, no laws are enough until we end this epidemic of school shootings in our country. My heart is with the students and parents of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
What if legislators cared as much about producing students that love school and learning as students that pass a test?
I bet we'd have more high-achievers and people with great character. #teachergoals
