David Hopkins, the School Superintendent, is not going to roll over and play dead due to Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel’s decision not to allow public schools to arm themselves in self-defense.  McDaniel just painted a bull’s-eye on kids & teachers by declaring them essentially in a gun-free Zone.

Hopkins went to great lengths to have his staff properly trained and surveillance equipment installed, but that does not fit the anti-gun, anti-2nd Amendment politically correct crowd which runs much of government today.

Ironic isn’t it that the government constantly gets more funding because it’s always “FOR THE CHILDREN”….poppycock!  It’s always for their self-aggrandizement and this proves it beyond a doubt.  More free lunches, more computers, more advisors & counselors, more ESL classes, more athletic equipment, more everything, except a good solid education in the basics and most of all, no defense against being killed by a nutcase.
  
Ask yourself why the government PC crowd does not want to defend children’s lives…what are their motives and goals?  Why did AG McDaniel deny that ability to Clarksville or any other school?  Where are the other school officials & personnel…the principals, the endless assistants, the teachers themselves, all of whom could be targets too?  Is Hopkins the only Superintendent who actually cares more for his students’ & personnel’s lives than his own enrichment?  Where is the outcry in the face of recent bloody events?  Where is the governor and legislature?

If ever we have seen the raw, ugly face of politically correct collectivism this is it.  Individuals be damned, the collective demands “gun control”….translation, disarmament of citizens. (Funny how the deranged & criminal can always get weapons) Those belonging to the “collective” don’t dare voice any other opinion in the name of common sense or decency.  If they do they will lose tenure, or worse…they should ask themselves which is worse, losing a job or your life.

To think we have come to this….some ideological goal has become more important than the very lives of youngsters.  The “education” community and the public ought to circle the wagons around Superintendent Hopkins and demand their rights as individuals to their lives and the lives of their children…and run A.G. McDaniel out of town on a rail.
