There are higher emotions I believe on a school campus than at any sporting event where 99% of people go to relax and we are not allowed to carry there. I think we are going to have to agree to disagree.

I don't agree with the sporting event restrictions either. And hopefully those will be removed soon too.

Students wont' be carrying legally on a campus lower than college. Parents carry off campus dealing with scores of other situations dealing with their children as it is.
You're right that we'll have to agree to disagree, because I can't find any reason to give a blanket ban on a group of people who haven't given reason to not trust them. Especially not a group of people who are trusted in almost all other areas in their life.

LuvtheU.S. wrote:Mr.Jmra I guess you missed my other posts, but there are many reasons why I think that carrying on campus is a bad idea and being sued is just one. I will just chalk it up to a difference of opinion that you believe the districts that don't allow carry do not care as much about human life as you and the districts that do. Sincerely

I'm not sure why you believe teaching at a school is so emotionally daunting that it negates a persons ability to control their base instincts. It's not more stressful than dealing with accidents involving children (EMT's, Nurses, Doctors, Social Workers). And it's not more stressful than going through divorce or the loss of anything else you hold dear in your life. But the state doesn't restrict our rights due to those factors. We're given a great deal of trust. I stress this to my students. We're trusted to do the right thing. We're not automatically doubted and treated like children that can't control themselves. It's up to us to live up to the trust that's placed in us. And for the most part, every day hundreds of thousands of us in Texas do. Millions across the USA do. I have faith in most teachers. If I didn't, I wouldn't want them working around my children. I have more fear that they'll impart a socialist agenda (I know of openly socialist teachers) to my children than that they'll physically injure them.
