I wasn't supporting any partisan agenda, something I'm fully capable of when I choose. I worked in public education from 1962 to 1999. I know something about the problems students and schools confront. Almost no one goes into education as a profession with the notion that they must kill one student in order to prevent him from killing another. Those willing to do that go into law enforcement, a fully honorable profession but not interchangeable with teaching. I knew several cops who became teachers. I never knew a teacher who became a cop.
