Friend,
The first weeks of school are scary enough for kids–and parents. It’s filled with anxiety, and these days the safety of our children is high on that list.
Now, the General Assembly could add guns in the classroom to the list. This Tuesday Senator Mastriano’s bill to arm teachers will receive it’s first vote–we must stop it here. Teachers should focus on educating our kids. Lawmakers should focus on keeping kids safe. And guns in classrooms are a threat to students and teachers. 1
Tell your legislator: Arming teachers won’t keeep students safe. But you can. [[link removed]]

No Guns in Classrooms [[link removed]]
Here’s what it will do:
*
Give
students
access
to
guns
in
the
classroom.
The
vast
majority
of
school
shooters
are
associated
with
the
school
so
it
will
only
increase
the
danger;
*
In
moments
of
chaos
if
there
is
an
active
shooter,
it
can
confuse
law
enforcement
and
increase
risk;
*
And
remember
no
training
is
necessary
to
carry
guns
around
schools
if
this
becomes
law;
I’m like so many parents. We drop off our kids off in the morning at daycare or school, and we hope there isn’t some blaring notification of an active shooter.
My son’s teachers love him, they are there to help him learn and grow. They don’t want to carry a gun because our elected officials continue to refuse to take a stand against gun violence.
Let’s stop Sen. Mastriano's dangerous proposal before guns are in classrooms across the Commonwealth. [[link removed]]
