What

 

this woman is about to be confirmed as Secretary of Education unless 1 more Republican senator flips, the 6 I listed are still on the fence

 

I know absolutely nothing about this person but I coukd agree that guns should be allowed in a school with proper licensing etc
Protection is important

Correct me if I missed the point entirely I dont do the politics thing much

 

She's okay with child labor

 

she thinks schools should have guns to protect from grizzly bears
schools at risk of grizzlies already have protection (not guns) and the bears never attack schools, they hardly pose a threat at all

but even besides that example, it's pretty much unanimous with education professionals that she's a disaster. She's the most hated of all of Trump's cabinet picks, keep in mind a very controversial cabinet

 

She has no experience in education. Seems legit.

 

Oh she literally meant grizzly bears?

LOL

 

Apparently Senator Cornyn of your state also hasn't taken a position on DeVos

Contact him here

 

+1 +1 +1 +1

Could not agree more.

 

I see absolutely nothing wrong with her.

 

WTF is wrong with you?!?!? Guns should not, under any circumstances, be allowed into or on school property. Children should not have guns at all. The only people at school who should be allowed guns are the security guards. NO ONE ELSE!!!

 

And how are you going to back up your statement?

You're literally yelling at Muunkee for her opinion on guns where she doesn't really participate in politics. Relax.

 

Ahem.

"With proper licensing?"
How many children do you expect to be able to get a license?
Please read the whole post before you act like an idiot

What about teachers? Teachers can defend a school....?

 

If every child had an ak-47, no one would dare shoot up a school. Boom. Case Closed.

 

I don't think there would be any schools left to shoot if that happened.

 

This thread got dark quick.

 

Betsy DeVos has been trying to gut public schools and push more government funding for private and charter schools. She also thinks it should be up to the states to decide how to handle students with disabilities.
