Tell Gov. DeWine No To Arming Teachers in Schools

Contributors: Becky Alexander and Rachel Jamison.
Tell Governor DeWine and your representatives "No" to Ohio House Bill 99.

Last week, the Ohio House and Senate passed House Bill 99 (HB99), which would allow teachers and staff to bring guns to school with less than 24 hours of training. Supposedly, if teachers can arm themselves, they can stop school shootings from happening, or intensifying, which is ridiculous, and dangerous to everyone involved.
