I am a teacher, a former FBI agent, and former CIA officer. NO I do not want to be armed and yes I have had a significant amount of training in firearms and feel comfortable around them. Using a firearm is not in the teaching job description, nor should I be. Period.
I've received about a dozen emails from teachers, all saying the idea of arming them for classroom defense is delusional. Obviously this is a self-selected group, but has anyone asked whether, nationally, teachers want to be armed, or do they only want to teach?

During the Great Resignation, people who stay are paying a loyalty tax.
Data on ~20k job titles: new hires are making 7% more than people currently working in the same job.
Hey managers: why not offer a retention raise instead? Commitment should be rewarded, not punished.

Today would've been the last day of school at Robb Elementary. These kids should've been celebrating summer vacation. Now they're gone. It is beyond evil. Beyond.

It's the 145th day of the year.
The U.S. has already experienced 213 mass shootings so far.
That's an average of about 10 per week.

#HR8 that Coach Steve Kerr is calling for is a Background Check bill with bipartisan support. It has sat for 2 years because GOP senators won’t vote on it.
Call your senators right now and demand a vote on #HR8.

The death toll just rose: At least 37 children have been killed in school shootings in 2022 so far.
It is nearly *twice as dangerous* to be a student than a police officer in America in 2022.
