You make a point, but at least you have admitted teachers in NC are in a union. Maybe doing away with gun free school zones so parents can volunteer on a rotating basis is a better idea.
If something is valuable you guard it. Be it a bank holding money a museum with rich art displays or a Ferrari dealership, they all use armed guards.
What is more valuable then our children's lives? Are they not worth as much guarding as a bank vault?
If a crazy person with a gun/guns or bomb or machete is going to attack our children at our schools is not not better that there is someone there to try ans stop him, or to just wait till he is done and hope the loss of lives is not too large.
I was in the Boone branch office of Bank of America today as I have done for the past 30 years, and I didn't see an armed guard. In fact, I have never seen an armed guard there even back in the day when it was just little ol' NCNB...
Interesting point, Opoib. It looks like the terrorist sends his kids out with bombs strapped to them to kill people he wants to control and the liberal sends his kids to schools that encourage them being killed because the liberals fight protecting their own children in order to get a crisis that would help them control others.
J.W. Williamson was the founding editor in 1972 of the Appalachian Journal: A Regional Studies Review, which he edited until July of 2000. He has taught college classes in Appalachian history, cultural politics, and literature, and he has lectured widely on the pop-culture history of "Appalachia" in the American consciousness. His books include Interviewing Appalachia, Southern Mountaineers in Silent Films, and Hillbillyland: What the Mountains Did to the Movies and What the Movies Did to the Mountains. He has won the Thomas Wolfe Award given by the Western North Carolina Historical Society, the Laurel Leaves Award given by the Appalachian Consortium, a special Weatherford Award given by Berea College, and the Cratis Williams-James Brown Award given by the Appalachian Studies Association.
The views expressed on WataugaWatch are solely those of J.W. Williamson or individual contributors and are not necessarily shared nor endorsed by the Watauga County Democratic Party nor by any other adults of sound mind in this or any other universe.

Preposterous.

Bizarre.
Sally M care to elaborate or just going to stick to your one word posts?
Or does you pattern of non nonsensical posts mean you do not think our children are worth protecting ?
Peace.

BRB, does the fact that your bank does not feel the need to protect the money in it, does that make our children's lives less valuable?
I was at Lowes groceries today and armed guards carried in bags of cash for making change and deposits.
Were those deposits worth more or less then yours my child's lives ?
Interesting point, Opoib.

I had never thought of this before.
Specious.
