Trump suggests “a little bit of a bonus” for trained teachers who are armed, throwing out 10%, 20% and 40% as possible percentages of teachers who might be qualified.
Also: “You can’t hire enough security guards… Your need 100, 150 security guards.”— Catherine Rampell (@crampell) February 22, 2018
100-150 security guards per…what? School? District? City? State? The whole country?
So, you need 100 people who can pass a background check, who train up to at least police standards, are armed and equipped, willing to stand around all day every day just being there. I figure you’d have to pay them at least $40,000, plus good benefits, so the total cost of employment would be maybe $100,000 per. Multiply by 100, and you have $10,000,000.
So, again, is he talking per school? $10,000,000/school?
