It’s a question several years old — should teachers be armed?
A Texas school system offers a recent reply: If they’re inclined to be, then yes.
Grand Saline Independent School district is currently in the second week of heat holstering.
According to Superintendent Micah Lewis, the New York Post’s lead-up was laid out by Lewis.
“Every time there was a school shooting, me and the board talked about it again. If some crazy came in here, could we minimize the damage by being armed?”
It’s a query every school should pose. For that matter, it’s a pressing one for every home.
But despite the advent of the internet, ours doesn’t appear to be an age of information. Rather, we’re navigating an era of narrative.
Many people on television and online believe that guns are only used for evil.
There are many stories about criminals using them, but there is not much coverage of defense.
However, 2A heroism is occasionally celebrated:
Texas Church: Two People Killed by Gunman in Shooting. Armed Security Stops the Attack
Philadelphia man shoots looter after an armed crew breaks into his gun shop
The Young Man of a Robbery Shoots His Son in the Face at a Fraud
Pistol-Packin’ Granny: 79-Year-Old Arms Herself, Tells Home Invader, ‘I Got Something for You!’
No-Nonsense Grandma Shoots Diddlin’ Flasher
Grand Saline’s officials would like schools to stand a chance if the situation turns sour.
However, teachers who are Tauruses may not be preferred by all conservatives. What if there’s a misfire? What if a staffer’s gun is taken? Is it possible to train defenders sufficiently?
The Post has the following:
District workers who want to become guardians should apply and undergo screening with Texas Department of Public Safety. [Superintendent Micah] explained. The staff must have completed 40 hours training in the beginning and continue to receive additional training on a daily basis. They must also be licensed to carry weapons.
So goes the “Guardian Plan,” active at the elementary, intermediate, middle and high school.
They aren’t alone — Grand Saline joins 300 other Texas school systems in equipping faculty with firearms.
And it’s anyone’s guess who’s locked and loaded:
No one knows which teachers or staff members are armed — and [Micah] says that’s intentional. Guardians are allowed to keep the gun at their disposal and weapons can’t be kept on campus.
Per Education Week, there’ve been 103 school shootings in the last four years — 34 in 2021.
As they get ready to fire on student shooters, academics may be faced with the dilemma of having to do it.

“We’re educators. Although I don’t like that we are required to do it, again you must weigh the pros and cons. Do you take this student down if he’s mowing people down? It’s an easy answer. You take one to save many.”

Hopefully, no church — or school — will ever again be in that position.
But if they are at the Grand Saline Independent School District, select instructors — whoever they might be — are standing guard.
