What if it was your child or mine, your grandchild or mine who was the “bad” guy?
I understand the fear that drives a parent to protect, I just think that we have to do better.

If it was my child or grandchild and they were the bad guy I would support the actions taken. This sounds much like a lot of attitudes today, do what you need to do UNLESS it is my kid, my property or any of my relatives. When I grew up our parents put our teachers in charge and trusted them to make the right decisions and sometimes that included getting our butts kicked by teachers. Today, discipline is not permitted. If a problem exists we need to send them to counseling. Parents don't accept responsibility for discipline and they won't delegate to those they entrust their kids to for up to 8 hours a day. Then when something happens, it's someone else's responsibilities. Arm the teachers, bus drivers and anyone else whose life can be in danger. That's why I carry.
