A school district is teaching all of its students to fight back against armed intruders. Pencils books and seventh graders are said to be all that is neccessary to stop a 200 poun man with a gun.

would imagine kids would scream and run if someone took out the first student or teacher. High School would be different though. I at least think the teachers should be better equipped though. The article mentions how at Columbine they were told by teachers to all lay down and cooperate and then they were just shot while lying down.
I agree it should turn into a screaming rampage of students running for the exits at all costs but fighting back I have my worries about.
Should Our Kids Be Taught Combat In Schools ?
