As a retired Guidance Counselor I am appalled at the thought of teachers being armed with guns in the schools. Much of what the counselors do is teach students to be less aggressive with each other, to have tolerance and understanding of others, and to know that they can make a difference in their world by working to end the negativity in their lives. The thought of our students thinking it is normal and alright for the people who provide their support system to also carry deadly weapons gives out a serious mixed message. There’s a place for guns but it’s not in the hands of those whose job it is to provide mental expansion, not fear of weapons.
