Outraged Educators Storm Twitter Today Saying: #TeachersAndGunsDontMix
1.
So will teachers get ammo too or do they put this on the classroom wishlist with copy paper, tissues and colored pencils? #TeachersAndGunsDontMix

No guns in schools.

Stop protecting the NRA.
Let the teachers teach.

#CNNTownHall As a teacher, I’m letting you know I’m not carrying a gun to work. I’m not bringing guns around my children. I am not a police officer or in the army for a reason, I teach kids — I don’t go to war every day. My job is to educate children.

As a teacher, I can say that we have a long wish list of essential supplies that would help our classrooms, and guns are nowhere on that list. #makemesafe #TeachersAndGunsDontMix

If Scott Peterson, a deputy with a gun, didn’t confront a killer with an AR-15...do you really think that a ninth grade biology teacher with a gun is the answer?

Hey. Teacher here. No guns, but some more supplies would be nice. Especially paper...since I was told two weeks ago to stop making copies because we were running out. So, yea, literally just paper. #TeachersAndGunsDontMix

"More guns."
— John Pavlovitz (@johnpavlovitz) February 23, 2018
"Arm the teachers."
"Teach students self-defense."
"Bulletproof backpacks."
No.
No more.
No more guns.
No more @NRA-funded politicians.
No more @GOP fear-peddling
No more allowing 5 million gun zealots to hold America hostage.#Midterms2018

Arm me as a teacher with: passion for teaching, love of students, compassion, listening skills, respect, tolerance, validating students strengths, humility, critical thinking, kindness, engaging students & a willingness to learn more so I can teach better.#TeachersAndGunsDontMix

Can you imagine anyone in any other job (dentist? doctor? accountant?) being asked to carry a weapon to protect their patients/clients/customers in case a shooter? The absurdity is horrifying. #TeachersAndGunsDontMix

So we want teachers to be social workers, mental health experts and now soldiers armed w/ guns. When will they teach? Also, what happens the first time a teacher feels threatened by a student and pulls their gun? #TeachersAndGunsDontMix

I’ll carry a gun when cops are expected to teach Romeo and Juliet to solve gang wars #TeachersAndGunsDontMix

Y’all want teachers to
— Dominique Hamilton (@Underrated_Dom) February 22, 2018
• Effectively teach our kids
• Don’t discipline them
• Buy their own meals
• Give extra credit no matter what
• Carry guns
• No overtime
• Shoot back at school shooters
but only pay them $40-50k a Year? #ThursdayThoughts pic.twitter.com/nKA95z5exd

I don't bring a purse to school because I cant even keep kids from finding and stealing all my good markers. You think the kids won't find a gun in a class you are nuts. #TeachersAndGunsDontMix

Things teachers don't get bonuses for: @realDonaldTrump

Buying food for kids
Communicating outside school hours
Spending personal money on supplies
Wearing geeky lesson themed clothes
Eating lunch with students#TeachersAndGunsDontMixhttps://t.co/azmvPq7X2b

My son is a teacher and has to play way too many roles already. It’s amazing that he even gets a chance to teach. Now they will be responsible for security and taking out an active shooter? Don’t we already ask enough of them? #TeachersAndGunsDontMix #ResistTrump

I’m a high school math teacher. #ArmMeWith smaller class sizes, less testing and a secretary of education who knows anything about public schools. #TeachersAndGunsDontMix

There is already a shortage of teachers in the U.S.
— Mario (@mtehuitz) February 22, 2018
We need more teachers delivering great lessons and helping students academically/emotionally instead of adding “gun skilled" to their job description.#TeachersAndGunsDontMix

US: I wonder how we can get rid of this issue where people shoot up schools
— Sebastiaan de With (@sdw) February 23, 2018
World that has no such issues: less guns
US: Perhaps we need more guns in schools
World: no, less-
US: Yes, the issue is inadequate guns

We have 2 daughters that are teachers and this is a moronic idea. Teachers teach. Teachers help. Teachers protect. Teachers should not be SWAT members. #NeverAgain #TeachersAndGunsDontMix https://t.co/ZU8huB3Pq6

The majority of parents will NOT send their kids to a school with armed teachers. I wouldn't. I would immediately home school. Many teachers would likely quit, too. #TeachersAndGunsDontMix

#TeachersAndGunsDontMix #NeverAgain Teachers started a social media campaign... They'd like books 📚 instead of bullets 🔫. Who knew? 👏👏👏👏 https://t.co/QQ0BSC3PcX

Also: To address the "arming the teachers debate". That is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard of. You won't supply boxes of tissues to my classroom but you'll hand me a gun? It's laughable that that is even being discussed right now. #TeachersAndGunsDontMix #stoptalking
