Texas Gov. Abbott signs bill mandating armed security in all state schools
The law also requires annual audits of school protocol and has all staff undergo mental health training.

No, it's incredibly stupid & wasteful to put armed guards in schools.

In almost all cases the guards will flee anyway & not fight. If they do fight, in almost all cases, they will simply die. Some guard with a pistol getting jumped by a heavily armed attacker?

This is political "do something" bullshit that doesn't actually solve the problem.

My thoughts? Were it me I'd enact school choice vouchers, that also served as direct checks if you homeschool your kids yourself with the three Rs plus history and civics.

And with one stroke we've effectively eliminated teacher's unions and taken women out of the workplace.

school choice vouchers

Let's ruin the few decent schools in good areas as you've just removed the last impediment to bussing in niggers by the truckload

Letting real Americans pull out and leave is the exact opposite of bussing.

And what prevents them from being followed? Even if homeschooling becomes more of a viable option under a voucher system, it still will not be feasible for the majority

Isn't this more and more looking like a prison system for kids and not schooling?Even the architecture of newer school buildings present a formidable fortress.

Like the covid, they're locking up the innocent from the disease.

I agree. It's by design. 19th/20th-century factories look like prisons. The newer school buildings (built after 1980) have razor-wire hurricane fences and replace bathroom glass with reflective sheet metal.

Compulsive schooling might as well be prison.

Armed guards do not a prison make. Banks have armed guards, why can't a school? Just make it discreet. They already have school resource officers, just give them a gun under their blazer.

I don't like it, but my solution would take decades to work as the entirety of culture has to be rebuilt. So, I suppose it's a necessary evil. It's also another reason any kids I were to ever have would be homeschooled.

Not when modern "mental health" training might as well be called How To Transition As Many People As Possible.

All he has to do is physically remove blacks and hispanics. But that will never happen so schools are just jails now. The only place a white kid is likely to ever experience physical violence is in a public school

It's better as the lefty grooming types aren't going to like this since it means they'll be more eyes on them since they have armed security and delegitimises the police if they stop a school shooting faster strengthening 2nd ammendment attitudes.

Nah this seems like a retarded solution that is designed to blow up in his face to give the uniparty more ammo in their crusade to disarm the populace.

I'm curious, why is everyone so critical of this?

My main critique of this is that I'm wary of any 'more government' solution, and I agree with others that deregulation would be better, but isn't this still something? Best solution? Absolutely not. Bad to the point of deserving vitriol? I'd have to think on it more, but it doesn't strike me that way. At worst it's wasteful spending and political grandstanding but, even then, I've seen much more wasteful spending, and much more stupid and harmful political grandstanding. Just from this month, 'trans people are the bravest humans ever' jumps to mind, among others.

So, I really am curious why this is getting so much hate. Again, good? Maybe not. Bad? Hardly seems that way. Is it just an instance of expecting better from, for lack of a better term, our own side? I can see that, I do that myself. Still, though, seems a bit weird to hate on this of all things.

That said, yeah: Deregulate. Let teachers arm themselves; those that choose to will likely be the good ones. Perhaps most importantly...fucking investigate SSRIs and the pharmaceutical ind...[user has been assassinated for this message.]

I think it's an interesting experiment.
See how it goes.
Only way you know if it works is trying it.

You can't really logic what school shooters will do as they're nuts to begin with.

Public schools should be required by law to have at least equal security to elected politicians and their workplaces.

Texas went Constitutional Carry in 2021, so there's no ccw licensing cost.

But sign into law that firearms training and certification is mandatory for all teachers. Not all of them will carry, and with the type of people we keep seeing online working as teachers, you probably don't want all of them armed.

But they already have mandatory certication for other parts of their profession, mandating one more is not a big issue. Once you have them on the range, teach them the basics and to achieve a minimum of competence in law, carry and accuracy, then you can push them with incentives.

You can still get a permit, which is required to carry in a couple places (on campus, for example) and can restricted from carry on private property by a different section of the law than carry without a permit.
