A Texas School District Allows Teachers to Carry Guns.

http://www.nj.com/newsflash/index.ssf?/base/national-108/12188351567140.xml&storylist=topstories http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/29/us/29texas.html Israel already arms teachers, and allows for guns to protect schools and school buses from terrorists. http://www.gunowners.org/op0218.htm Plus, I'm also sure that probally many educators are also trained in Krav Maga, as well. So they should be well prepared to deal with physical bullying as well. In schools which have a zero tolerance policy towards violence, you can get suspended for geting involved in a fight, even if you were acting in self defense. If given the choice between getting into trouble, and getting a goose egg, what would you choose. When I was in school, I saw many students holding a cold pack to there heads, because they were injured in an attack. School officials have failed to prevent violence. All that they manage to be able to do is to punish students after the fact. The student body, and faculty alike, should be allowed to defend themselves from any possible harm. Especially from the "behaviouraly disabled", whom are permitted by I.D.E.A. to attend school, at public expense.
