The President apparently wants to arm US School Teachers

as a fit and necessary response to the latest school shooting massacre. I say "apparently" because he has already contradicted himself on this point twice in the past twenty four hours....
If I was Donald Trump I'd drop this proposal soonest, teacher's unions HATE him with a mortal passion, if the teachers are armed, how long before they start drilling, training, marching and preparing to Seize Power?
Hey listen there are twenty two thousand members of the Massachusetts Teacher's Association in the Commonwealth, arm and train but half of them and you have a very effective armed force in the streets with no high opinion of Donald Trump or Governor Baker.
I'm being grimly sarcastic...today, but just remember this, Mussolini lead a bare sixteen thousand indifferently armed and trained Blackshirts all the way to power in Rome circa 1922.
 At anyrate armed teachers will make municipal contract negotiations very very interesting indeed....too interesting in fact, this idea ought be set aside along with all of the President's other perverse notions.
