TAKE THE POLL: Does arming teachers make students safer?

 

Republican lawmakers are once again pushing to arm teachers – and they’re passing new laws as we speak.   Until last week, teachers and other school staff in Ohio who wanted to carry a gun on school property were required to undergo 700 hours of firearm safety training.   But a new bill just signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine reduces the training requirement to 24 hours.   Our Executive Director, Adrienne Bell, is a Texas school teacher and she shared her thoughts on this new law in a recent email:   “Most teachers have zero interest in carrying guns to school because we inherently know it makes us and our students less safe.”   Now we would like to hear from you.   Do you think it’s a good idea for teachers to carry guns in schools?

Yes No

In the more than two decades since Columbine, studies have shown that adding armed police officers, “hardening” school buildings, and pushing to arm teachers has done nothing to stem the tide of gun violence in our schools.   There are two bills before Congress right now. One has passed the House, and the other is being negotiated in the Senate.   While these bills are hailed as bipartisan gun reform, neither includes the necessary changes that could have prevented the massacre at Uvalde, Buffalo, or any other recent mass shooting.   The vast majority of Americans support common sense gun safety. Let’s get the right people elected to get it done.
