This whole situation is absurd, and the idea of passing a law explicitly banning intentionally injuring a teacher during a training drill is the cherry on top.

  >If the teachers signed a liability waiver making it okay, it's on the teachers for willingly participating in a clearly stupid and dangerous activity. If they didn't, then the injured teachers should hire a lawyer and sue... I have to disagree here. Signing a waiver isn't iron-clad in court. You can't just sign a waiver saying it's OK for someone to shoot you, or do anything else illegal to you. Unless these teachers were clearly warned that this would injure them and draw blood, they have good cause to sue, and even if they were warned that way, they can still sue, arguing they were afraid for their jobs. I'd like to see these teachers sue the bejesus out of this school district. It's absolutely incredible that anyone thought this was a good idea, and if no one goes to jail for it, the local government clearly deserves to pay dearly for it.
