Fans of arming teachers are ignoring the teachers themselves, who for the most part don’t want anything to do with guns in the classroom. Several states, including Texas, already allow individual school districts to permit teachers to carry guns. Only 300 teachers in Texas have done so — less than one in 1,000. Both the Texas State Teachers Association and the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers union, are opposed to arming teachers.
