Some parents: don't trust teachers to educate their kids with verifiably accurate history and science because it might make them feel guilty or conflict with their religious beliefs Same parents: trust those same teachers implicitly with firearms to protect their kids from shooters wielding the AR-15s that they refuse to restrict or ban. We have teachers who are under assault from forces beyond their control from parents, from politicians, and from nuts with military weaponry while their wages have largely remained stagnant and outstripped by the cost of living. Meanwhile, we live in an administrative fantasy land where somehow schools need a dozen assistant principals and superintendents who literally could not find a job outside of academia are pulling in $300K+ even from poor districts. They'd get far more traction, at least about school security, if they banded together and told parents that their kids are getting thrown into hallways the second they hear an active shooter is on campus. We can have ten dozen shootings and nothing will change, but have one where it's the kids that are the human shields and people will suddenly find that spark of common sense that has long been abandoned.
