Progressive Teacher Prefers Dead Kids over Gun Rights

Posted by The MaryHunter

Who knows if this Letter to the Editor is legit, though it was published in the Boston Globe. Caveat emptor aside, it seems perfectly sensible to hoist this up as a model for what progressives truly value in society. Short answer: it's not our children and their safety, but fairness.

I am a math teacher at Brockton High School, the site of a school shooting earlier this month.

Current school security procedures lock down school populations in the event of armed assault. Some advocate abandoning this practice as it holds everyone in place, allowing a shooter easily to find victims.

An alternative to lockdown is immediate exodus via announcement. Although this removes potential hostages and makes it nearly impossible for the shooter to acquire preselected targets, it unfairly rewards resourceful children who move to safety off-site more shrewdly and efficiently than others.

Schools should level playing fields, not intrinsically reward those more resourceful. A level barrel is fair to all fish.

Therefore, it is better to have more kids killed in a fish-barrel situation than to get most kids away to safety asap -- because it's more fair.

But wait, it gets better:

Some propose overturning laws that made schools gun-free zones even for teachers who may be licensed to securely carry concealed firearms elsewhere. They argue that barring licensed-carry only ensures a defenseless, target-rich environment.

But as a progressive, I would sooner lay my child to rest than succumb to the belief that the use of a gun for self-defense is somehow not in itself a gun crime.

Thank God that this effete pompous ass is not educating my kids. Or, is he/she? How many more of these nitwits are sitting in positions of authority in public service? More than likely, this excuse for mental activity pervades far more of local, state, and federal government than we dare imagine.

It is ludicrous pleas like this one that fire up the progressive left into inflicting more and more gun restrictions on Americans. The shooting at Brockton High School and so many other similar (and worse) school shootings have been and will be used by gun-hating liberals as a clarion call for tighter gun restrictions, designed to subvert the Second Amendment and make the public even more vulnerable to criminals and the state. The ATF confiscating toy guns is just another step toward this end.

There's no way to candy-coat it: Progressives want your guns. All of them.(image)
