A Florida House of Represenatives committee approved a bill Thursday that, if passed, would allow teachers to arm themselves after completing a background check and training, The Miami Herald reported on Thursday.
"We’ve spent very little of the past one hour and 56 minutes talking about what actually is in this bill," Republican Representative Jennifer Sullivan, the committee chairwoman, said."I believe this is a bill that will make our schools safer." Kevin Watson, the Director of Public Policy Advocacy at the Florida Education Association, expressed apprehension about the storage of weapons brought on campus.
Colin Sharkey, the Executive Director of the Association for American Educators, told Newsweek that 82 percent of more than 1,300 teachers interviewed in a recent survey said they felt safe at their schools.
