This is incredibly problematic

In chaotic school environments, having guns on teachers will lead to more accidents. For example, a student who's having a bad day could steal a teacher's gun and do something with it. Or maybe a younger student who doesn't understand its severe power. Teachers who are abusive can also turn to guns if prone to anger issues. In general, the presence of armed teachers creates an even more fearful environment. And it doesn't even solve the problem of protecting against school shooters, since teachers will almost always be locked in rooms with their students. The solution to the problem is not more guns, it's less. That's just common sense.

I agree with this stance. It is incredibly problematic and irresponsible to allow guns on school campuses, regardless if they are under teacher supervision. It could cause more school shootings, especially if students are aware of the gun and general weapon irresponsibility. I completely agree that the solution to the gun problem in schools is putting LESS guns in schools. Why would we enable school shootings when we have the power to lessen the risk? That is not only irresponsible but immature as well.

I completely agree, children already feel unsafe having armed police officers at school and any school related events such as dances, so having their own teachers be armed with guns only created a more fearful environment. The gun is always prone to misfire or end up in the wrong hands, so it is only sensible that instead of having more guns in proximity of the daily lives of citizens, there should be less guns in the hands of perpetrators.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
