re: #112 jaunte

I forgot how they would play it: “Make the teachers buy their own guns as part of the job requirement.”

Seriously…I think part of the back end of “arm the teachers” is that it will drastically change who goes into the job, another way of completely changing the function and functioning of education.

And I stand by my earlier assessment. This isn’t about mass shooters, it’s about another advance in the ever-expanding definitions of who gets deserved to be shot, when. If the measure of threat is a subjective read by an amateur shooter, and the system encourages and shields that judgement, who dies will reflect the prejudices and preconceptions of the larger (unhealthy, biased) society.
