#1 They'll use the provided ammunition to stone any student who dares say there are only two sexes.

#2 What's that advice about bringing a ~~knife~~ stone to a gunfight?

These people have watched too many Hollywood movies - and not the good ones either.

#3 My wife taught Kindergarten for 15 yrs and was taught as part of the ALICE program and the police said that throwing things at the attacker is a good way to resist. They mentioned books, chairs and anything else so this fits in with that.

Better than nothing.

#4 But not everyone thinks this is a practical line of defense.

Well, if you have enough Palestinian students it just might work.

#6 My Dad used to say I was dumber than a bucket of rocks, but I don't know.

#7 But Skid, having those buckets 'O rock will be handy come grading time. For comparison purposes.

#8 I think it is a brilliant idea. I remember discussions here at Rantburg about throwing everything at hand at a gunman or hijacker to confuse him and put him on the defensive —it is hard to aim a gun or cut someone when in the midst of flying bread rolls, for instance — and allows the children to take ownership of their own protection instead of worrying that someone else will get to the best hiding place first. Finally, while flying anything provides cover for someone(s) to tackle the bad guy and take away his weapons, rocks are actual weapons in the hands of someone who knows how to throw, not merely a distraction.

I’ve also read that the janitor carries a gun, with authorization to shoot in case of a situation.

#9 All those untrained rock throwers are likely to injur other students.

#10 All those untrained rock throwers are likely to injur other students.

And the downside ?

#11 I'm not sure I'd want to face certain kids in Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic....those places some of the best baseball players come from these days.

But as my wife says, "I'd rather throw bullets"
