From Jeff at Alphecca, discussing an initiative to teach some gun safety in Ohio schools: The Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence called a potential relationship between schools and guns "a little bit obscene." The group's executive director, Toby Hoover, labeled the effort a ploy by the gun lobby to indoctrinate children in its beliefs. Meanwhile, local educators said they can't fathom mixing weaponry with the classroom. "I really think it's something that's better left in the hands of parents," said Bob Scott, superintendent of Avon Lake schools. "Even couched as gun safety, it would be too divisive.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/gunsschool.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/gunsschool.html Sun, 19 Feb 2006 09:22:45 -0600 And when the parents *do* teach the young 'uns handgun safety, there will be screams of "Child Endangerment!" from the loudspeakers atop the ivory towers... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/gunsschool.html#comment-41046 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/02/gunsschool.html#comment-41046 Sun, 19 Feb 2006 22:05:08 -0600 Imagine that, leaving the teaching of handgun safety to the parents.

Divisive doesn't mean what you think it does.
