Default ‘We have good kids to protect’: the Texan schools where staff carry guns

Quote:
For the past 18 months,the British photojournalist Spike Johnson has been touring Texan high schools, talking to the armed superintendents who work there and who believe passionately that civilians have a greater role to play in protecting American children. At least 10 states across the US now allow school staff access to firearms, kept in lock boxes or inside vehicles, in a scheme known as the school marshal programme. In Texas, though, more than 170 schools go a step further, allowing employees to carry weapons under a shirt or in an ankle holster.

Of course, young people should be protected, with armed guards who may have an impact on the students' ways of carrying weapons in their future.
