You Want to Arm Me With What??

The discussion about arming teachers with guns to increase the safety of our schools is once again being proposed in light of the horrific events in Uvalde.  Instead of arming us with guns, how about:

Arm all teachers with the resources they need.

Arm all teachers with books that honestly teach about our American history- the good, bad, and the ugly.

Arm all teachers with the opportunity to create safe spaces to discuss gender identity and sexuality.

Arm all teachers with the acknowledgement that each and every day they are making a difference in the lives of their students- because they are!

Arm all teachers with social services to help support students and teachers.

Arm all teachers with a salary that allows them to live their lives without 2nd and 3rd jobs.

Arm all teachers with partners in the community that support and reinforce their work beyond the walls of the classroom.

Arm all teachers with the time to collaborate with their colleagues.

Arm all teachers with the understanding from all in society that they are valued for the work they do.
