Should TEACHERS BE ARMED?

Score: 79%

Notes from the Newsroom:

Addressing gun violence, especially at schools, is a hotly debated topic. Florida’s bill to allow teachers to carry guns on campus has struck a cord with many. While there is a plethora of existing research on this topic, there are also several widely quoted sources that did not pass the Thread Source Criteria for transparency. We made sure we took the credible sources and presented both sides of the argument, now you decide.
