If we are going to arm teachers...

... then I say, why stop at guns? Why not give every schoolteacher a cache of firearms, assault weapons and a few RPG launchers besides. I mean, we wouldn't want to be outgunned, would we? And while we're at it, we could also put a ring of heavy artillery around every school. Hey, an even better idea might be to place mines in schoolyards. After all, the little shits should be busy studying anyway, not wasting time outside, and mines would take out a good number of potential shooters before they even got to the school. (And just think of the potential of "walking the yard" as a discplinary tactic for those truly unmanageable kids?)

I think I may have hit on a real plan here ...





(Yes, it's !)

Guns don't kill people, the dearth of moats kills people!

have them ask the students if their families own guns....
and then have them ask the students to ask their fathers are they planning on killing themselves, their wives or their children with the guns....since killing someone in the family is more likely than killing a stranger.

This is a war and we should be on a war footing in our schools if we are ever to defeat this menace. And our teachers and students should be battle ready soldiers. Faaaall in!



Lol.

...we already have an in-house threat from those commie Algebra teachers!

[font size = 4]Eric Bolling: Schools ‘pushing the liberal agenda’ by teaching algebra[/font]

Fox News host Eric Bolling on Wednesday accused some schools of “pushing the liberal agenda” for teaching an algebra lesson about the distributive property.

During a segment about “indoctrination in schools,” Bolling reminded viewers of a 2009 video of children chanting, “Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Barack Hussein Obama,” which outraged conservatives at the time.

“But even worse is the way some textbooks are pushing the liberal agenda,” the Fox News host explained, pointing to an algebra worksheet that Scholastic says gives students “(i)nsight into the distributive property as it applies to multiplication.”

“Distribute the wealth!” Bolling exclaimed, reading the worksheet. “Distribute the wealth with the lovely rich girl with a big ole bag of money, handing some money out.” Co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle explained that the algebra worksheet had put her on “high alert” for the liberal agenda in her 6-year-old son’s curriculum.
