I was sitting next to a friend at a luncheon and the subject of teachers with guns in schools came up. She, a former teacher, said, “They took the Bible out of the classroom. Then they took paddles away from the teachers. Now they want to give teachers guns.” What’s wrong with this picture? We can’t train students in the knowledge of the Lord and we can’t discipline them, but when failures in these two means of molding character have been withdrawn and we’re suffering from the consequences, we can kill them in self defense.
