"I teach. No guns."

I am asking all on Twitter to RT this; please share in any way you can if you agree: "I am a professional educator. I don't want to carry a gun to school or teach where being armed is the new normal."

"I am a professional educator, and I reject having school safety policy dictated by the NRA and the gun lobby." RT if you agree

Also:

Do we need more arms in the classroom? Yes more adult arms to hug our children each day - Love and Peace in education - No guns, No violence

"our sense of duty to our students and our profession"

Sandy Hook Shows Teachers' Enduring Values

"Perhaps part of their legacy will be a societal re-examination of the significance of educators and a better appreciation for our sense of duty to our students and our profession. Across the country, our educators commit countless deeds of kindness and altruism for the good of their students, colleagues, schools and communities. They expect nothing in return but to know that they have made a difference."
