Parkland Senior: ‘You Just Can’t Arm Every Single Teacher’

‘Teachers get emotional too’

RUSH EXCERPT:
ZEIF: "I don’t know if I’m going to be going back next week. But on that topic, teachers get emotional too. And to arm every — like to arm any teacher, they are there to teach. They are not — they are not supposed to be there to protect us and have to worry about if they are going to have to shoot a kid that day. There should be people there for that. I spoke with a teacher who was there in that room with me. And she’s been teaching for 19 years. And she said if one day she came to work and they said, all right, we’ll start arming you guys with firearms, she would quit. Teachers and 19-year-olds are still people. And everyone is different. There is no way to — you just can’t. You just can’t arm every single teacher."
