Indiana State Teachers Association Opposes Arming Teachers With Guns
ISTA Vice President and middle school music teacher Keith Gambill says educators need to focus on teaching.
“To expect to add another layer on top of that, to also be law enforcement, is just a step that I personally am not willing to take and I believe that there are better solutions,” Gambill says.
An ISTA statement calls on lawmakers to arm schools with more resources focused on counseling and helping students deal with trauma.
