Teachers to be armed in the US?

This is noteworthy:
The law says that school districts may choose to allow a school employee, a hired security officer or a volunteer to serve as a "sentinel" who can carry a firearm in the school.

The school district must receive the permission of its local law enforcement agency before carrying out the programme. The law requires the sentinels to undergo training similar to what law enforcement officers receive.

"I think it does provide the same safety precautions that a citizen expects when a law enforcement officer enters onto a premises," Daugaard said.
Justice alone is the mainstay of government and the source of prosperity to the governed, injustice is the most pernicious of things; it saps the foundations of the government and brings ruin upon the realm - Sher Shah Sur, Sultan-ul-Adil.
