STAND WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR BETTER GUN CONTROL LAWS
Governor Bill Haslam et al, as the caregiver and legal guardian of my 5 year old granddaughter, I have listened to and read your thoughts regarding wanting armed personel inside our public schools. Having recently undergone the threat of a bomb purportedly placed inside Dyerburg Primary School, I believe you're wrong in what you're suggesting. I've spoken with many of the teachers at DPS as well as other parents and all agree with me that if your wishes for armed personel are carried out, our children will be placed at greater risk. I urge you to seek better and more effective Gun Control laws rather than seeking armed personel within our public schools.
Why is this important?
Our local primary school received a threatening telephone call the week after the massacre that took place at Sandy Hook school in Newton. My 5 year old granddaughter is a student at our Dyersburg Primary School and I was pleased with the professionalism, care and concern from all our First Responders along with the care and professionalism by the Administration and all employees of the DPS. Our Governor and state legislators want armed guards and/or staff in our schools and I believe that's a bad idea.
