Interesting comment Messor. My first reaction was there is no way I am happy with this. We are inclined to protect our children to an extent which may even become irrational. But it is what we do as parents in this country. As a result I feel uncomfortable knowing that they are in a classroom with an armed adult I do not know.
On second thought, the question is whether the teacher is entitled to carry in order to primarily protect him or herself. As a an added advantage, said teacher may be able to stop an attack which endangers the children. As we all believe that we should be able to edc wherever, why is the teacher different? Is there a higher threshold for the teacher? If so, why?
I for one carry my firearm to protect myself and my family. If I can safely stop a wider indirect threat, without endangering others, I hope I am brave enough to do so. The teacher would have passed the same competency we all do and would do the same?
I am now leaning towards thinking that we should not be restricting any legal gun owner from carrying or advocating for that. In a time when it seems clear that there are steps to disarm the public, should we not support the union’s view?

We should support their views, but not just because of the disarmament agenda of the current regime.
We need to support it because why should a law abiding member of society be forced to leave their most effective self defense tool at home, while their colleges are being robbed, beaten and murdered.

Keep 20 year old idiots in grade 8 out of the schools.
If by 18 one has not got grade 12 throw the little useless out.
Beat there asses properly when miss behaving.
If they fail 2 years in a row throw them out. They are going nowhere in life anyway.
Look neat and properly dressed at all times.
Discipline.
Once these rules are followed no teacher will have to EDC.
All the above rules should be passed down from the parents.
Most parents need their asses whipped for churning out useless kids.

Re: Let teachers bring guns to school - Union
So what about drivers licenses, supposedly weeding out the bad apples from our road.
So what about the police who carry, and the processes to supposedly weed them out.
What about any process that supposedly weeds out the bad apples? I’m sure you will say none are a fair comparison.
Seems like we should all have equal rights, but yours are importanter...
