It appears to me that if you are going to do your level best to be horrible to teachers, and to make their lives a living hell, it’s Probably<\/span><\/b> not a good idea to let them bring firearms to work and to give them military training<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Tennessee has emerged this week as a center of the \u201cthe answer is more guns in schools\u201d sentiment following the Newtown, Conn. elementary school shooting.<\/span>
