Vern Blanchette is an experienced teacher with a Masters degree in education. He has a new, small book out titled \u201cHow to Completely Stop School Mass Killings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His plan? You guessed it: competent, discreetly armed faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am totally with him on this. The best way to shortstop what has become a trend crime among sick losers is to have skilled, determined, armed good people present when evil people attempt to murder the innocent. It has worked in Israel, Peru, and the Philippines. It would have severely limited the casualty toll, and perhaps completely eliminated it, had it been in place here, from Columbine to Sandy Hook to Uvalde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book is available on Amazon for something like five bucks a copy. It uses simple, sound logic to refute every argument against arming volunteer faculty members. It\u2019s short enough that if passed out to school board members it is likely to be read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d have bought a bunch to distribute to the school decision makers where I live, but for one thing: they <\/em>have already armed and trained volunteer faculty. Only they \u2013 and the police department and sheriff\u2019s department, with whom they work hand in hand \u2013 know who those select employees are. The superintendent of schools told the local newspaper flatly: if some sick SOB tries to shoot the kids, the offender will be killed where he stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Predictably, there have been no such attacks here\u2026nor anywhere else I can find where the armed faculty program has been put in place and publicly announced. Some of these psychopaths may want to die in what they think is a blaze of glory shooting it out with a SWAT team after they\u2019ve murdered helpless children\u2026but none <\/em>of them are up for risking a bullet in the back of their head from Mrs. Grundy the history teacher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vern Blanchette is an experienced teacher with a Masters degree in education.
