[...] You may recall: Youngsters in a suburban Fort Worth school district are being taught not to sit there like good boys and girls with their hands folded if a gunman invades the classroom, but to rush him and hit him with everything they got – books, pencils, legs and arms. [...]

When the Bill of Rights was written, it was meant to enumerate rights that we already possessed. The Bill of Rights doesn’t “give” us those rights, it just lists them.

If anyone chooses to live unarmed, chooses not to practice self defense, chooses to be a victim, then there is no helping them. They will always stand and bleat when the wolf comes.

Even worse, they want to disarm you, too. We need to stand up for our rights while it is still a voting issue, or we will have to fight for them later.

They want the children to fight an armed gunman or gunmen, but they want to keep teachers and principals unarmed?? I think fighting back is better than not, but why keep children, teachers and principals at at UNARMED disavantage?? The big bad militarized police with their helmets, vests and machine guns receive what they need, but NO, not the adults in schools who are the FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE. That’s insanity and worse, it’s actually a great evil to keep them uarmed!!

[...] What do you do when a mad gunman shows up? At Columbine the answer was to hide under the desk so you could be a convenient target. Some have decided that that is not a good answer. ENCToday.com has the story about a Burleson School in Texas that hired a British Army Major and instructor for Response Options. The new approach is one that was made visible by the passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 (Wikipedia). Dave Kopel on School Violence on National Review Online discusses the situation and its implications. joannejacobs.com: Fighting back, Dr. Helen: Let’s Roll, SayUncle » That’s what I’ll teach my kids provide commentary worth perusing (ht Boorze).

Says a spokesman for the sheriff’s department:

“You’re telling kids to do what a tactical officer is trained to do, and they have a lot of guns and ballistic shields,” he said. “If my school was teaching that, I’d be upset, frankly.”

Yeah, let’s keep doing what we have been doing, teaching our kids to roll over and be compliant little wussies. Wait for the “experts” that are “trained”. That’s worked great. Jeebus, what a fucking moron.
