I would like to call your attention to the article I found in
the Fort Worth Star Telegram
on the training of school marshals.
This is a new class of law enforcement officer similar to that of an air
marshal on a plane; only this will be a marshal in a public school. The intent is to protect school children in
the event of a mass shooting. Tarrant
County College in Fort Worth is the first school in Texas to offer this
training. The qualifications to become a
marshal are listed in the article. I
think this article hits home in a lot of ways, considering school shootings are
occurring more frequently as guns fall into the wrong hands, and yet we live in
a state that supports individual gun rights.
It will be interesting to see how other states react to Texas putting
this program in place and proactively allowing guns in a school
environment.
