Tuesday, a teacher accidentally injured a student in a California classroom when his gun accidentally discharged, sending a piece of ceiling tile down on the student. To add insult to injury, the teacher in question had not only undergone firearm safety training, but was a reserve police officer. His police department boss doesn’t know why he didn’t use a dummy gun for his demonstration. His school superintendent boss understands that parents rightfully have questions about why this happened. Nobody seems to know why he was aiming a loaded gun at the ceiling in any event. He’s on administrative leave now.
Tell me again how good an idea it is to arm teachers. I guess no ceiling tiles will be menacing his students.
