HOUSTON (Reuters) - 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.
Hot dog! I agree with this.

If Joe horn lived in a civil society he'd be serving his sentence by now.....Only in Texas can a man get away with proven premeditated murder...Arming the teachers so they can do the same?

Well, it says it's a small, unincorporated rural district, the school has about 110 students. They are afraid of a situation like at that little Amish school in PA.

On the other hand, if now all the other school districts are going to want guns too....
