Madison teachers rebuff Wisconsin GOP leader’s comments about arming educators

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – In response to Wisconsin’s prime legislative Republican saying he was open to arming academics, Madison Metropolitan Faculty District academics say they don’t need to be armed within the classroom.

MMSD academics held a walkout on Friday to advocate for greater wages to compete with inflation and the price of residing.

In the course of the occasion, Wright Center Faculty trainer Andrea Missureli mentioned she doesn’t agree with current feedback made by Meeting Speaker Robin Vos. He mentioned the concept of arming academics “must be on the desk”.

Wright mentioned arming academics wouldn’t make colleges safer, however she argues stricter gun legal guidelines would.

”We hope that they vote on smarter gun security legal guidelines, doing background checks and ready durations,” she mentioned. “These are straightforward issues. We’re not saying take away all people’s weapons.“

Wright mentioned she would refuse to have a gun in her classroom and that she believes spending cash on psychological well being sources could be extra useful.
