The Trump Administration Has Been Roundly Criticized for Their Response to School Shootings.
Donald Trump's ideas to help to stamp out school shootings have been roundly criticized.
The New York Times reported in March 2018 that among Trump's ideas was to repeal President Obama's "rethink school discipline" policy.
That policy sought to alleviate the suspensions and expulsions of non-white students.
More famously, Trump's other plan was to arm teachers with guns, Trump was quoted as saying the wake of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school shooting, "It only works when you have people very adept at using firearms, of which you have many.
It would be teachers and coaches." In reference to Coach Aaron Feis, a Parkland coach who was a licensed firearm holder, Trump said, "If the coach had a firearm in his locker when he ran at this guy – that coach was very brave, saved a lot of lives, I suspect.
But if he had a firearm, he wouldn't have had to run, he would have shot him, and that would have been the end of it.
This would only obviously be for people who are very adept at handling a gun.
It's called concealed carry, where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them.
They'd go for special training and they would be there and you would no longer have a gun-free zone.
Gun-free zone to a maniac, because they're all cowards, a gun-free zone is: 'Let's go in and let's attack, because bullets aren't coming back at us." Coach Feis died while trying to shield students from the gunfire in Parkland.
