The new policy isn't addressing student violence
And it isn't intended to address mental health or violence problems at all. Life insurance doesn't prevent you from dying, what it does is make the aftermath the best it can be. Likewise, this policy is intended to equip the school with first responders who can react to the horribly unlikely event of an attack on the school, not because they are afraid of the students. And it isn't a fearful tactic, it is a prepared one. I have life insurance, despite the fact that I turned 22 last saturday, does the description of paranoid or fearful fit me, or am I prepared? I don't want to leave my expecting wife out in the cold if something should happen to me, that is why I am insured. This school district has no other option for a reasonably effective response in the event that some wacko decides he is going to kill him some kids before committing suicide and knows that this school is far from any help. The school isn't permitting tgeachers to carry because they are afraid of the students, they are allowing them to carry to better protect their students should the unthinkable happen.
