What a great idea…
These people are determined to have more kids killed:
The Mississippi Board of Education voted today to remove a policy that barred individuals with enhanced concealed carry permits from carrying guns in the state’s elementary and secondary public schools, revising a 1990 policy that previously prohibited anyone other than “duly authorized law enforcement officials” from doing so. The board made the change as part of an ongoing review of its policies to bring them into compliance with state law.
The board said the 1990 policy prohibiting “the possession of pistols, firearms, or weapons in any form by any person other than duly authorized law enforcement officials on school premises or at school functions” is at odds with the state’s 2011 enhanced-carry law.
“We simply complied with the state law that’s been in effect for the last 11 years,” Mississippi Department of Education Office of Safe and Orderly Schools Director Brian McGarity told the Mississippi Free Press today.
Mississippi had a famous school shooting in 1997. I don’t know if there have been any since then. But apparently, the BoE wants to get in on the current action. It’s sick.
