I know it sounds like an article from theonion.com but apparently it is real

I heard this on the Panama City talk radio show this morning on the way into work. Previous to discussing this story, the guy, (Darryl Day) was doing the usual rant against "common core" standards, and espousing the popular theory that local school officials (such as this) should be left alone to decide themselves, what will be taught in their classrooms.

It was sad to witness somebody unable to connect two dots, so close to each other.

I saw it on the news last night. I don't think I would want to take on an AR with a can of beans.

Well, it is Alabama!

I think they are on the right track. Gun free zones are a bad idea so teaching the kids to fight back using any weapon they can (if they can't retreat from harms way) is a good thing. One can of beans won't back up an intruder but 30 cans might. The guy who shot up the movie theater in Colorado would probably have retreated if he would have suddenly found himself being pelted with 100 D cell batteries from the patrons. Of course the best way to remove an armed intruder would be to have some good guys/gals armed and close by. Until then, teaching them to fight back instead of being an easy target may be the only chance they have to survive.
