So, teachers shouldn't do anything they aren't comfortable with? Teachers who have a problem with gay students should be able to kick them out of class then? Teachers are supposed to be the ones to rise above discomfort for the betterment of their students. If it means saving students' lives, teachers shouldn't hesitate. Side: Yes

Teachers should not be allowed to have guns in class. Any student could break into their desk and steal it. Even if it was locked up good, anyone could figure out how to break into it. Teachers could also have a problem with a student misbehaving and threaten them with a gun. This would be a very bad decision if they do decide to give teachers firearms. Side: No
SO, the argument is that a teacher might threaten a student with a gun? That's a ridiculous claim. Has a teacher ever been fired for threatening a student with a scissors? They have weapons close at hand, and they aren't using them. Students are the problem,, not the teachers. Side: Yes

No teachers should not be able to have guns in school. If they are allowed to have a gun on them in school the government is given them permission to possibly shoot a student. Some teachers could be crazy and if they do not like the student at all, then the teacher can just shoot the student. Side: No
No, especially since lots of teachers can be considered "city people" because the majority of the teachers they are talking about are from larger cities and may not have ever handled a gun. If they have to carry a gun, they should have to be trained, and what schools will want to pay for gun safety and training. Side: No

My comfort level in the classroom would not be very high knowing my teacher has a gun in the desk. If the teacher leaves to use the bathroom it would be easy for a student to run up to the desk and grab the gun and shoot us. There would not be any issues trusting my teacher because they work with kids every day. However, if there is a day where they are stressed out and not in a good mood, it wouldn't be very hard to get them mad and have them freak out and shoot us. Side: No
