Colo. mom starts petition to arm teachers with Tasers
SEDALIA, Colo. – In the wake of last week’s school shooting in Connecticut, one Colorado mom is hoping to encourage school districts to allow teachers to carry Tasers in an effort to protect students and themselves.
Jenni Parks, a mother of four, has started an online petition that would encourage lawmakers to require teachers to have stun guns in each classroom.
“We The People would like to Petition the State of Colorado to make Tasers a requirement for all teaching staff and that there be one secured fire arm available in case of emergency,” said Parks in her online campaign.
The idea, which will likely stun most people, is not one expected to be taken up by lawmakers anytime soon.
“I think the chance of a teacher accidentally discharging a Taser is much smaller than someone having to burying twenty children,” added Parks.
Denver Public Schools allowed media to observe their state of the art command center that allows officials to monitor surveillance cameras, radios, and all aspects of student safety.
Parents dropping off their children at school Monday morning told FOX31 Denver crews the shooting left their sense of safety shattered.
“I felt very scared, it took me about 45 minutes to leave the school this morning,” said one parent dropping off a child Monday morning.
