Teachers qualified to bear arms is not a bad idea: Ivanka Trump

<p>Teachers across the United States have come up with an innovative campaign to reject President Donald Trump&#39;s controversial proposal of arming teachers with concealed guns and weapons.</p>

<p>The hashtag #ArmMeWith has been trending for the last few days, in the wake of last week&#39;s shooting at a Florida high school, which claimed 17 lives.</p>

<p>&quot;I AM A TEACHER. NOT A POLICE OFFICER, NOT A SOLIDER, NOT A BODYGUARD. I would risk my life to save my students but I would never keep a concealed gun in my classroom, nor use it EVER. #ArmMeWith TISSUE &amp; PAPER TOWELS. that&#39;s all, Please &amp; Thank you,&quot; a teacher wrote on Twitter.</p>

<p>&quot;Bringing more guns into our schools does nothing to protect our students and educators from gun violence. Our students need more books, art and music programs, nurses and school counsellors; they do not need more guns in their classrooms. #ArmMeWith,&quot; a second teacher posted on the micro-blogging site.</p>

<p>A third one wrote, &quot;It&#39;s about weapons of war. No civilian needs access. #BanAssaultWeapons #NeverAgain #ArmMeWith&quot;</p>
