Is this the future you want for your children?

LOESCH on proposal to arm teachers: "Perimeter fences should be locked. Doors should be locked & monitored. You should have video security. If every layer fails, as a last line of defense, a teacher who is trained & capable of acting when needed to defend themselves & students." pic.twitter.com/3qcgbAZhIb— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 4, 2019
Even Trumpies should be a little rattled by this. If what they want is to go back to a simpler time when America was “great” this wasn’t the way it was. Kids could go to school without having to be locked up in a Pelican Bay panopticon. This horrific dystopia where we are forced to treat schools like super-max prisons is purely a right-wing vision of the future.
This is what they want.
