Feedback on Proposal to Arm Teachers in Gun Control Debate

In the wake of the Parkland, Florida school shooting that killed 17 people, President Trump and the National Rifle Association have suggested a proposal to arm teachers in order to protect their students against another tragedy.

There has been significant pushback against the idea. Law enforcement groups and teacher organizations have expressed opposition, and it has been singled out as a politically-motivated distraction on the part of the NRA.

We want to know what our members think about this issue. The more feedback we receive, the more we can advocate on behalf of educators nationwide. Click here to submit your comments.
