Students Fighting Back

As I read Saturday's The Greenville News, I was surprised to see a by-line from Burleson, Texas, our former home. It seems high school teachers and students are being taught to fight back if some maniac comes into the classroom intending harm. Apparently amajor in the British Army Reserve has done the training, the first of its kind in America.

Of course, there will be some who will criticize the training. Surely, they say, some child will be killed. But isn't it at least possible that many more children would be saved if they know what to do? Bravo Burleson! Perhaps it is time to turn the tables on the wackos.
