I guess you failed at math and English. Your link is about having sex with kids, not killing them.
And for those of you challenged by math, when you have the second most populous state (by a wide margin), you shouldn't be surprised if you have the second most sex offenders.
The post discussed mentally unstable teachers. Another post connected pedophilia, which is abuse of children. The assertion was made that cited examples are all in 'liberal' states.
TX unfortunately is a leader in teachers who abuse kids. Now you want to give them guns? Sorry if you can't follow along or comprehend that. Most others would.
Texas School District Will Let Teachers Carry Guns
A tiny Texas school district may be the first in the nation to pass a law specifically allowing teachers and staff to pack heat when classes begin later this month.
Given that the article is from '08...what ever happened, did they impliment that plan? I don't recall hearing about any teachers or administrators suddenly start shooting kids.

While the district's plan shot them into the national spotlight, carrying guns to school is nothing new some states. In Utah, the law allows anyone with a permit to carry a gun in public schools and state institutions of higher education.
Actually...never mind, I see that even Puffington Post is covering it:
Quote:
In August 2008, Harrold Independent School District Superintendent David Thweatt made waves announcing an unprecedented move: Teachers and staff would be allowed to carry guns in schools.
Thweatt's "Guardian Plan" marked the first time any school in the country permitted select teachers and staff to carry concealed weapons. Those participating in the program must hold concealed-carry licenses and are approved by the school board to carry on campus.
Thweatt told Fox News at the time the decision to implement the program was based on logistics -- the 110-student K-12 school is half an hour away from the nearest sheriff's department. He added allowing teachers to carry guns would protect schools from "a lot of anger in society."
"When you make schools gun-free zones, it's like inviting people to come in and take advantage," Thweatt told Fox News in 2008. He noted critics of the Guardian Plan were skeptical of a possible shooting in Harrold, but said he felt it was better to err on the side of caution.
"Is that 100 percent [student protection]? No," Thweatt said. "Nothing is 100 percent. But what we do know is that we've done all we can to protect our children."
Former Education Secretary Bill Bennett also took to "Meet the Press" on Sunday to suggest that schools consider arming employees.

I suspect Texans are just as happy that irrational people such as yourself are leaving. Ain't a free country great?
So I am the irrational person
Arming teachers is indeed sooooo rational
It's the same thing they do in France, Germany, Australia, UK, Japan, Denmark... oh, wait... nevermind.
