This is yet another reason I would not survive public school again.I was one of the most annoying students in school. The only thing that I had going for me is that the teachers were unarmed. Well that is going to change in Texas.
This article came over the news wire today.There is probably is not a wire anymore.
I have no idea how the news gets into my computer. For all I know a rather smart squirrel delivers it through a trap door in the back of the computer. And this trap door leads into a small book lines study with a comfortable leather chair. The chair would be at a nice mahogany desk with a computer. There the squirrel, I named Oliver, would types in my daily news.
That is one of the things I do not understand about new computers. They are do small. How can your squirrel type in you information comfortably. That is the main reason I don't have a note book computer. I don't want to abuse my squirrel.
Well any where here is the article I was rambling on about earlier.
Texas school district to let teachers carry guns
Fri Aug 15, 3:32 PM ET
A Texas school district will let teachers bring guns to class this fall, the district's superintendent said on Friday, in what experts said appeared to be a first in the United States.
The board of the small rural Harrold Independent School District unanimously approved the plan and parents have not objected, said the district's superintendent, David Thweatt.
School experts backed Thweatt's claim that Harrold, a system of about 110 students 150 miles northwest of Fort Worth, may be the first to let teachers bring guns to the classroom.
Thweatt said it is a matter of safety.
"We have a lock-down situation, we have cameras, but the question we had to answer is, 'What if somebody gets in? What are we going to do?" he said. "It's just common sense."
Teachers who wish to bring guns will have to be certified to carry a concealed handgun in Texas and get crisis training and permission from school officials, he said.
Recent school shootings in the United States have prompted some calls for school officials to allow students and teachers to carry legally concealed weapons into classrooms.
The U.S. Congress once barred guns at schools nationwide, but the U.S. Supreme Court struck the law down, although state and local communities could adopt their own laws. Texas bars guns at schools without the school's permission.
