Evers Prefers Jail to Letting Teachers Defend Themselves

From Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson:

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers, a Democratic candidate for governor, says in a fundraising email he is so opposed to teachers being able to defend themselves and their students that he is willing to go to jail.

“Instead of acting to reduce gun violence, Republicans want to give guns to teachers,” Evers wrote. “As a lifelong educator, I can say without any hesitation that I’d rather go to jail than arm teachers in our schools.”

There is no current Republican proposal in Wisconsin to “give guns to teachers.” There are proposals to allow teachers that have had the training to allow them to carry guns to defend themselves, including a proposal by state Attorney General Brad Schimel who has even offered to provide training.
