Cherry Hill, NJ, has similar demographics to the area in Florida where the recent school shooting took place. Yesterday, a very popular high school teacher was suspended. His bag was searched and he was also required to undergo a psychiatric examination. What was his crime?

In his Social Studies class he has told his students if they were ever attacked he would protect them. That's it!

The kids have all walked out in protest because he is immensely popular and the teachers union has done nothing about it. Here is this unbelievable story of liberal school authorities really going nuts:

Loonie Libs are destroying this country..........and worse yet, the rest of us are allowing it to happen!

He freaked some students by suggesting that the likelihood of an attack was "high" in their school. Genius move. Why did he say that? Warning flag? Better search his stuff and find out.

Kids are messy and chaotic creatures. Consequently schools are messy places, in terms of the types of communications that happen. Teachers have to stay super-focused. Not all of them can. Broad-scale arming of teachers is an idea that is bound to fail because of the amount of emotional chaos in a school building, both in the classroom and staff meeting.

To put it mildly; yet we the public are supposed to heed & respect their wise pronouncements on gun control, or anything else?

Yes, it sounds entirely reasonable & rational that a teacher contemplating a school attack would give himself away by raising the "warning flag."

You did mention that it was New Jersey. Is anyone surprised? Regards, Clark

I think demographics are driving the reaction in Florida. Lots of parents with money and lack of social agenda to spend it on.

How many times did the Florida shooter flash an alarm on someone's panel (all ultimately ignored) before going off?

So yeah, admin has to do what they have to do. Send the guy home for a few days until he's calmed down.

Unless you've been in the middle of even a garden-variety, school-related Charlie Foxtrot, as parent, student, teacher or admin, you don't really know. Everyone looks stupid to someone.

I bet football coach Aaron Feis would offer a differing opinion - he was the football coach at the high school in Florida that ran to the sounds of gunfire and put himself between the shooter and kids. He is the embodiment of hero school teacher.

I bet he would have rather had a gun.

Not all teachers need to be armed - but those that accept the responsibility should be able to. It only takes 1 to stop the carnage.

Dead on. In most instances, the attacker either fled or committed suicide when confronted with an armed defenders.

Now I have heard some teachers say, "I don't want to carry a gun."

My response is, "Get yourself another job, then."

They don't have to. They don't have to survive either when all they could do is scream and take multiple hit from a madman.

+1 on Aaron Feis. His family name deserves the highest honors to be awarded.

What I do know is that sensible adults deferring to the judgments of average teenagers is the essence of stupidity, "turning over the asylum..." in real life.

What unreasonable thing do the kids want? To not draw fire in the school building. Boy, talk about your entitled attitudes, the little brats.

Fricking Genius. Mrs. Abernathy's 4th-graders love her but among God's gifts was neither dexterity or depth perception. She declines to pack heat when conservatives try to dump yet one more problem on the public school system, so the answer is "hit the road, lady".

My point guys is that these are losing arguments in the public sphere, outside the echo chamber.

When they take it upon themselves to slander NRA members as "child-murderers," they're not little brats, they're rotten little SOBs.
