3. Today, they were first responders, too.

People need to remember that when they start to attack us--we protect kids, we teach kids, and we help raise kids.

May all the teachers come home safe and sound tonight, and may all of the students be safe, too. The reports of students in the one school not having made it are horrifying.

4. Bless the Teachers~

5. These would be...

.. the Union thugs and parasites I've heard so much about...?

The ones who care only about getting more money for themselves?

I have had people call me all of those things.

Not in person, of course, but with the anonymity of blogs and social media.

12. Once again, the heroes are the teachers...

A truck that was tossed through the air landed in the spot where the school's main office would have been, KFOR reported. Books were scattered across pancaked slabs of concrete.

A crying man described to a reporter how he and others pulled a car off a teacher in the front of the building and found three children she had shielded with her body.

"Good job, teach," the man said, his voice choked with emotion.

A sixth-grade teacher told KFOR she laid on top of several children in a restroom to protect them from winds that may have topped 200 mph, and all survived.
