The article, “Your President Suggests Arming Teachers” by high school student Jeanette Hernandez, examines President Trump's initiation of the plan for arming teachers. Jeanette Hernandez passionately depreciates this approach while remarking past gun violence events and creates hypotheticals to prove the problematic nature of an armed school staff. The author directs attention toward those in favor of the armed teacher movement along with teachers and fellow students. Hernandez believes that supplying teachers will simply endanger others and introduces her passionate with a truth-provoking question,“Isn’t it worrisome for students to hear such solutions of uncertainty and chaos coming from the most important man in the country?” (Hernandez).…
Lopez was definitely in the wrong in bringing a gun to school, but it should have been up to the state to punish him and Congress should not have gotten involved. I too think that this case kept or court system in check too. If the Court had agreed with Congress then I believe it would have increased Congress’s power. This case showed that Congress could not get away with saying it fit effected the interstate commerce.…
By arming teachers or the staff that helps to support schools will only increase the level of liability in schools. Kenneth S. Trump, President of National School Safety and Security Services said "School districts considering arming teachers and school staff with guns would take on significant responsibility and potential liabilities that I firmly believe are beyond the expertise, knowledge-base, experience, and professional capabilities of most school boards and administrators," it is short-sighted for those supporting the idea to believe that educators who enter a profession to teach and serve a supportive, nurturing role with children could abruptly kick into the mindset to kill someone in a second's notice. Police and military personal train their entire career for these kind of situations. They are trained and placed into situations that require them to be in the mindset that they may have to take a life. This is the opposite of the caring role of a teacher.…
Arming teachers is a very tough topic to talk about. The first documentary that we watched showed a school that teaches students how to react in a shooting situation, and also arms teachers. I believe that this school is going a little overboard with arming the teachers. The program to train children in self defense is a good idea though. I'm not saying that we should constantly live in fear of a school shooting, but defense training would be a good workshop to do with students. They brought up a very good point in this documentary when they mentioned physical education classes, and the lack of benefits from. I believe that a self defense class would be very useful to ready students for their future. This could help them not only defend themselves…
Should anyone be allowed to carry a firearm on a school campus? There is a need to know more facts surrounding the concept of guns on campus. A person must determine their stance on this and why they believe that. This paper is not designed to persuade a person but let them become aware of things they may not have…
A number of people get killed in different campus. Some states are allowed to carry a gun on campus and others are not. Campus should be a safe place for students and they should feel safe when they are going to the campus. There are many crimes happen on campus because of problem with two students or two groups and the students use their gun and start to kill each other. Also, there are many terrorists mean to school and killed people because those campuses are free gun. So, is it good or bad thing to carry gun on campus? What happen when government allowed students to carry gun on campuses? Will carry gun on campus make the campuses safe or dangers place? Students should not carry weapons on campuses.…
First of all, the old-fashioned values and morals we impose on our children today are depleting. The line between being moral and immoral is becoming very blurry. Teachers are supposed to be important role models to the students as they continue to develop both mentally and emotionally. This occurs throughout the different stages of their lives. However, if the person who is supposed to be the child’s educator and mentor is shown to be in support of guns, then the message that they are sending to the students will be negative. Having guns goes against the morals we teach the children everyday about the negativity of violence “ It’s saying the only answer to violence is more violence. The only answer to guns is more guns” (CBC) By having teachers use more guns, as an answer to more guns, it brings out that violence is the answer to the problem at hand.…
Picture a class of twenty elementary students hidden under desks around the classroom, and the teacher is begging the children to stop sobbing. Down the hall the sound of gunshots ring out the sounds of people screaming and begging for help can be heard. The shooter is moving closer and closer to the area and all the innocent soon to be victims are defenseless. There is nothing in that classroom that is going to stop what is about to happen. Now imagine a teacher with a handgun that could at least scare off the shooter, or deter them from advancing into the room. Many people frown upon teachers being able to carry a handgun on school grounds, but if they only knew that the thing they frown upon could possibly be saving their kids life. It makes perfect sense that teachers should be able to carry a handgun if and only if they go through the proper training and tests.…
What if you were a teacher and an armed intruder came into your school? How would you protect your students and yourself? If we allowed teachers to carry a firearm that is stored in a locked container a student would not be able to acquire the weapon, and only in emergency situations would the teacher be allowed to remove it from the container. If there was to be a situation where an intruder entered the school building the teacher would be able to protect themselves and the students. There should; however, be a…

Will having students carrying handguns on campus actually make students feel safer? Texas Senate recently passed a bill that all students at least 21 years of age with a license to carry concealed handguns will be allowed to carry their weapons on college and university campuses. Legislation allowing handguns on campus violates the sense of protection students feel when at school, leaving many questioning civility. In April of 2007, Virginia Tech experienced one of the deadliest shooting In U.S history by a student, leaving 20 people injured and 32 slain.…
According to the article “Gun safety, Texas-style” an editorial from the Los Angeles times, the article presents that in order to avoid campus tragedy or school shooting happens, the Texas government may establish a law that allow students to carry gun on campuses. As the campus shooting tragedy happened in the past, the law’s supporters think most of times the schools lack of ability to protect students. They believe the best defense way is the students have ability to fight back when students face to gunmen. The purpose of allowing students carry guns on campus is to prevent future recurrence of the campus tragedy. In my personal view, campus shooting tragedy is unfortunate for civil education and we oppose any violence on campus. Therefore, I definitely do not agree students should carry guns to school.…
Concealed carry anywhere has been a highly controversial topic for many years. In the back and forth of this heated debate, multiple subcategories have arisen. One of which is whether universities should allow student or staff to carry concealed handguns on campus. This is a strange debate topic because the obvious answer is no. Just a few of the reasons are an increase in crimes of passion, a possible increase in school shootings, and a high risk for robbery and assault.…
The issue at hand here is “Is There Support for Arming Teachers in Schools?” This issue is argued by both Nirvi Shah, and The National School Safety and Security Services organization. Nirvi Shah believes yes there is support for arming teachers in schools, while The National School Safety and Security Services organization believes no there isn’t. Shah believes yes because there are already teachers who are armed in some districts. Shah’s argument is basically that the law passed in Utah has caused school shootings to end in Utah. Shah interviewed Mr. Dorn, the Georgia school safety consultant and Mr. Dorn stated “Sandy Hook didn’t look anything like Columbine. Columbine didn’t look like Pearl, Miss.,” Shah states that “Ms. Sorenson, a 13-year teaching veteran, is among those bolstered by the fact that there haven’t been school shootings in Utah since the law changed.”…
Nothing is more dangerous than the threat of being attacked by armed gunmen in schools. The school board, educators, and parents are arguing about whether should teachers be armed or not. One side believes arming teachers should be made legal in the state of California because, every single person has a right to defend themselves, the right with it to bear arms, many school districts are in rural areas far from such law enforcement protections, armed teachers help prevent emergency situations, and armed teachers would have minimized mass shootings. The other side believes arming teachers should be continued to be illegal in the state of California because, guns are dangerous, purchasing ammunition and guns for every teacher and training is…
