He Can't Be Serious

Reeling from recent school shootings, Rep. Frank Lasee of Wisconsin introduces a bold new proposal: Give guns to teachers. "To make our schools safe for our students to learn, all options should be on the table," he said, according to an AP article in today's USA Today. "Israel and Thailand have well-trained teachers carrying weapons and keeping their children safe from harm. It can work in Wisconsin." The article is quick to point out that Thailand and Israel might not be quite the epitome of peace and safety that we're going for in our schools.
