This morning on KSTP-5 news a story was run about a Principle from Norman County East High School advocating teachers should be allowed to pack heat. Here is what was said in brief, their web site has the video
One Minnesota educator says teachers should carry guns in the classroom. Norman County East High School Principal Greg Lund made that statement in reaction to the shootings at Red Lake High School.
Lund says if a teacher or a security guard would have been armed at Red Lake, fewer people would have died. "When the threat is walking the hallways shooting people, there's no way to get away from it unless you've got armed resistence," said Lund.
Judy Shaubach of Education Minnesota says Lund's proposal is ridiculous.
Lund says he plans to lobby school boards across the state.
I say Bravo Principle Lund. He echo's an article I wrote for the Minnesota Sentinel about a week ago. What Ms Shaubach and others do not understand is this proposal is not meant to be a solution to why kids go on these rampages. It is meant to act as a deterent and reduce the potential bloodshed by giving school personel a means of immediate defense of themselves and the students.
