Please-No Guns Mandated for Texas Schools

As a retired Texas school teacher of thirty plus years, I am pleading with the Texas Legislators to please NOT advocate new laws mandating Texas teachers be allowed to or required to carry guns or receive training in weapons under the guise of student safety at a school with a 'shooter" on campus. Teachers already are overloaded with teaching academics, teaching the state-mandated "tests", maintaining order, teaching proper behavior, manners, social skills.placating parents, principals and school boards who neither ask for our input or thoughts and we do so with often fifty to sixty-hour weeks- week in and week out year in and year out Now perhaps some parents will be requesting their child's teacher for the next year based on the teacher's target accuracy as well. as their perceived teaching competency!. This is just going to create more firefights going on in a real "shooter" situation and most of us would step in front of a bullet to protect our students if necessary and have done so without needing guns on a campus in each classroom.This is an insane idea and at its base is just another way to take money away from academics and transfer it to gun promoters and trainers, ENOUGH- let Texas teachers TEACH.!!!!!
