Parents suing to keep adults from protecting thier kids

Post by bignflnut »

But parents in the eastern Pennsylvania town of Tamaqua are so opposed to their school district’s decision to allow armed teachers that they’ve decided to sue.
Tamaqua school board members “endangered their community” when they approved a “manifestly illegal” policy to give weapons to teachers and other school employees, according to a lawsuit filed by three parents and a grandparent.

“A teacher’s role is to teach,” Holly Koscak, one of the plaintiffs, said Friday at a news conference. “We should not be putting those extra roles on a teacher when it’s out of their scope.” She said her daughter, a sophomore, is “very anxious” about having armed teachers in school.
Yes, well teaching is certainly a teacher’s primary role. But what if the nightmare scenario should, God forbid, ever come to Tamaqua Area High School (go Eagles)? How would Ms. Koscak suggest instructors protect her anxious daughter then?
These parents are so slavishly devoted to State power, so craven in abdicating their authority and responsibility to protect their own children, that they are petitioning the State to keep a tool out of a building, unless carried by a separate department of State actors.
They do legal battle to make certain that only criminals have the most effective personal means to take a life.
They beg for tyranny against their own Rights, forging their own chains.

It's funny now to watch the State have to spend capital to defend its own authority in public schools. This whole argument is twisted and perverse.

Here's hoping that both sides of the argument are so put off by the other that they consider homeschooling, further de-funding the public school system which actually had to contradict its own State-ist teaching on self-defense to arrive at this place. The State-ist worldview comes to the logical end of itself, being unrestrained at every turn.

Wondering if they included fire extinguishers as part of the lawsuit.

If a teacher's role is only to teach and cannot be expected or allowed to actually know how to do something else should the need arise and must not be able to get their hands on such tools, then we certainly cannot expect them to be firefighters and operate a fire extinguisher should a fire break out.

Adults that believe other adults are capable of only doing one thing still amazes me.
