Educators must volunteer, pass a psychiatric evaluation and background check, and take a gun-safety course, according to a bill signed by the governor this week.
Arkia Gordon, 17, a student at Leon High School, and Cynie Cory, a teacher at James S. Rickards High School, rally outside the Florida State Capitol in December to pressure lawmakers to strengthen the state's gun-control laws. By Katie Mettler Katie Mettler Reporter covering breaking news and features Email Bio Follow May 9 at 2:35 PM More than a year after the deadly shooting in Parkland, Fla.
The bill passed the state Senate in late April and the state House of Representatives last week, with elected officials voting largely along party lines. The program expansion came from recommendations made by a commission formed to investigate the Parkland shooting. Kaufman added: “Now, I’m scared for the next generation of students who will grow up afraid of gun violence in their schools, not just from a shooter, but from the guns that could be carried by their teachers.”
He cited concerns that a teacher may overreact and injure a student, then employ the state’s “stand your ground” defense.Jones’s concern was met with backlash from Republican lawmakers who accused him of calling teachers racist. FEA President @fedingram spoke with @craigmelvin this morning on @MSNBC about the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS and why arming teachers is the wrong conversation to be had at this moment. #MSDStrong @andrewsparfea @cgauronskas @NEAToday @AFTunion @rweingarten @Lily_NEA pic.twitter.com/HSjpgSl6ZL
