Several firearms in schools to prevent further violence in the UNITED states.
Such is the recommendation of a commission that president Donald Trump has set up as a response to a growing number of violence in the country.
It writes the AFP news agency.
the Committee recommends in a new report that u.s. schools should consider arming their employees. Also it sounds from the committee, that the war veterans should be used as skolevagter.
the Report stresses, however, that it should be up to the individual state and the individual school to take a position on the recommendations.
Trump, the Commission set up for Skolesikkerhed after a massive skoleskyderi in Parkland, Florida in February 2018. Here shot and killed a former pupil of 17 persons.
A group of surviving students organised themselves succeeding and set in motion a national movement, which requires more stringent gun control in the UNITED states.
But Trumps committee rejects the movement’s demands to increase the age limit for when one must buy a firearm.
the Argument is that the majority of the perpetrators behind the violence to obtain their weapons from family members or friends.
by Contrast, is the recommendation that staff in schools should bevæbnes. Including also school teachers.
– For the effectiveness and the immediate reaction of guilt, says the report.
president of the UNITED states is satisfied with the report’s recommendations, writes the news agency AP.
– Nothing is more important than ensuring our nation’s children, says Trump.
It is, however, far from all that are enthusiastic about the commission’s recommendations.
Among other things, the U.S.’s two largest trade unions for secondary school teachers criticise the report in hard terms.
– We do not need more weapons in schools, says Lily Eskelsen Garcia. She is president of the trade union, the National Education Association.
