In fact the idea that any conservatives want to force teachers to carry guns is almost completely a strawman invented by cowardly Democrats.<br /><br />I get that not every teacher wants to carry a gun. Maybe it's against your religious beliefs to pick up a lethal weapon. Maybe you have a phobia of loud noises that would prevent you from properly training with a gun. Maybe you're an old lady and you just don't see yourself packing heat. I can respect all that.<br /><br />But setting the strawman aside, I'm getting pretty sick of this insufferable martyr complex assigned to public school teachers when it comes to asking them to do anything remotely out of their comfort zone.<br /><br />Boo hoo hoo, we already have to buy crayons for our class because the district won't pay for them and we don't have the nerve to tell parents \"have your kids bring their own crayons or they might not get to participate in the activity\", now you also expect us to (work an 8-hour shift like most other American workers and still have summers and weekends off/implement a standardized testing program/fill in the blank). And no where is this attitude more visible than in the debate over \"arming teachers\".<br /><br />I have a couple general points to make. First, look over some of the responsibilities the teacher is \"carrying\" in this cartoon. The people who make cartoons and memes like this act like teachers are the only profession with extra and sometimes unwritten requirements that you won't always find in the job listing. \"Abuse detector\"? Yeah, it's called being a \"mandated reporter\" and most states require anyone who so much as goes camping with kids for a youth group trip to be one. \"Tech expert\"? Yeah, tell that to all the teachers who still don't know how to properly work a smart board despite them being standard classroom equipment for almost 20 years now. \"Part-time parent\"? Yeah, that wouldn't be so much the case if it wasn't for liberals like you making policies aimed at making school a substitute for parenting. Funny how you keep wanting parents to give up their parental rights to teachers and then add that to the list of reasons teachers are oppressed. \"Activist\"? Yeah, many of us wish teachers would stop being that actually. \"Social Worker\"? Many of you get to pawn off all responsibility for several of your special-needs students to special ed personnel because you are by and large incompetent or lazy when it comes to dealing with kids with minor disabilities and fair labor laws won't let us force you to provide them after-school tutoring which would take some of the burden off special ed teachers (I would consider special ed teachers/workers to be some of the school personnel who are actually put-upon and overworked to the extent these other liberal teachers claim to be). \"Disciplinarian\"? I'd say that literally almost half of public school teachers are terrible at disciple and this is a main reason why bullying is such a pandemic.<br /><br />So when it comes to all the \"extra\" responsibilities\" you have in addition to whatever else we are asking you to do that most of the time in no way interferes with those other responsibilities, quite frankly I don't want to hear it. And as a side note, and like to address another often-used quip by those suffering from Oppressed Teacher Syndrome (many of whom are not actually teachers). You sometimes ask why the government doesn't pay for your classroom supplies even though it pays for ammunition and equipment for police. I'd say there are three main reasons for this. First, teachers are the ones who get to decide what they use for their classroom, while police equipment must be standardized. Two, parents are supposed to furnish most of the supplies for their children, and quite frankly it's not the taxpayer's problem that you can't summon the nerve to tell parents that failure to provide such supplies may keep them from participating in some activities. And three, police are fundamentally more important to society than teachers. Yes, despite propaganda and celebrations to the contrary, your job is not as important as that of a police officer or a soldier. It's important, but not that important. And don't give me that crap about \"if there were no teachers there wouldn't be any police or soldiers or doctors\" when any basic working knowledge of human history debunks that notion.<br /><br />Anyway, second point, and getting back to the issue of arming teachers specifically: stop trying to frame teachers as heroes for not wanting to carry guns. Stop trying to highlight all the other good things teachers do as a way to try and say they've done their bit for society and we can't reasonably expect them to be any more heroic than they already are i.e., they're already heroes in the classroom on a day to day basis, so when it comes to stopping a school shooting, it's only fair for it to be someone else's turn. It is not that hard to learn how to shoot a gun, nor is it that hard to learn how to properly keep it and prevent it from being stolen from you. You're not going to be busy coaching a soccer game or wiping a kid's nose during a school shooting, so step out the door, lock it behind you, walk toward the gunfire, aim the weapon in the appropriate direction, and pull the trigger. Or don't. It's up to you, but just because you don't want to doesn't mean other teachers who would be willing shouldn't have the option. And yes, at least a few other teachers would be willing, making giving them the option a viable policy for preventing or mitigating school shootings.<br /><br />What's that? You say having a gun wouldn't necessarily prevent you from getting shot yourself? Well, no one said it would. You might get shot and die. But with a gun, it's much more likely that just you will get shot and die as opposed to a dozen students. And with multiple armed teachers throughout the school, they could easily overwhelm a single shooter. Sorry, but \"I don't like the idea of using a gun to defend students at my school because you can't guarantee my personal safety if I did\" doesn't make you sound like a hero, in fact it makes you sound like quite the coward. And if that is your response, then I don't want to hear any more about how teachers are underappreciated martyrs equal to police and firemen next time you want to strike to protest against standardized testing.<br /><br />But again, this is all setting aside the fact that no one is trying to force you to carry a gun to begin with.<br /><br /><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155520698048299&amp;set=a.77166263298.74758.500173298&amp;type=3&amp;theater\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155520698048299&amp;set=a.77166263298.74758.500173298&amp;type=3&amp;theater</a>", "to": [ "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public" ], "cc": [ "https://www.minds.com/api/activitypub/users/752022623537340422/followers" ], "tag": [], "url": "https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/816436257519910912", "published": "2018-03-02T22:26:12+00:00", "source": { "content": "I am not in favor of forcing teachers to carry.
