Unbelievable such highly educated gun hating school board members voted 8-1?
Face down an active shooter unarmed. Great plan.
Some quotes from articles.
"The roughly 90 city schools police officers are allowed to carry their service weapons while patrolling the exterior of school buildings before and after school hours. But they are required to store their weapons in a secure location during the school day."
"Our vote tonight will be one in which we are telling our security staff 'continue doing the work you are doing.' But for me it does not mean I am going to let you strap a gun to your side," she said.
"Others said the presence of an armed police officer had done little to prevent the deadliest school shootings in the past."
"If there is a report of a gun at school or someone believes a shot has been fired, school police officers have to call 911."
"My thought is that there is a possibility that their lives could be at risk. We expect them to possibly take a bullet, but not have a firearm to defend themselves, our students or our staff," she said.
'At the end of the period of public input, students with a group called the Baltimore Algebra Project formed a phalanx with their backs to the board members.'
"No guns in schools" they said in unison. "We gonna fight for our lives."
