ABC confirming 12 dead including children.
http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?se...rbs&id=8920181
'at least 12 may be a conservative estimate'
Sounds like 2 gunmen, one dead one in custody.

We have a task before us which must be speedily performed. We know that it will be ruinous to make delay. The most important crisis of our life calls, trumpet-tongued, for immediate energy and action. ... It must, it shall be undertaken to-day, and yet we put it off until to-morrow, and why? There is no answer, except that we feel perverse, using the word with no comprehension of the principle. ... [Then] The clock strikes, and is the knell of our welfare. At the same time, it is the chanticleer-note to the ghost that has so long overawed us. It flies?disappears?we are free. The old energy returns. We will labor now. Alas, it is too late!

Eh, fuck off. Far left extremists are quite capable of violence and have a far longer history of violence in Europe. Just a friendly reminder.

An armed principal would have mitigated the damage and less people would be dead. It's because of people like you wanting to impose restrictions instead of seeking solutions that these attacks keep getting worse.

Sounds like I get to still make decisions and have influence on gun-policy laws then. As I have never shot a gun, and as I assume you have never taught a class we are equally ignorant.
As this discussion has nothing to do with Education reform I will keep it brief, fuck that noise.
Also, gun-education in schools are you seriously that far behind the times? WE TEACH TO THE TEST. When policy makers decide that gun-education will be the criteria we are hired/fired upon then you will see it show up in the curriculum.
*And before you spout off some stupid shit. No I don't think we should teach to the test. Obviously there is a plethora of information we should impart on the next generation, but it doesn't and cannot happen with the current laws we have in place.

as someone said earlier in a different thread (can't remember where or who), but giving teachers guns is the first step to an incident where someone forgets to lock up their weapons and you end up with a kid picking up a gun and "playing" with it. OR an incident where we end up watching on the news how a teacher shot one of their students. we ALREADY have viral videos of teachers hitting their students... do we really need to introduce guns into the mix?
there needs to be SOME security at schools, but americans hate learning as it is... we can't turn schools into prisons. i don't know what the answer is, but i don't think it's going to be solved in our schools.
