Safer with more armed teachers trained to defend their students. Imagine being an unarmed teacher using your body to shield your students from a crazed evil gunman when you could be shooting back and ending the treat, saving your life and countless student's lives? Libs don't get this. FJB

Imagine a student finds a teachers gun in their desk and shoots students with it. Or an angry teacher takes out frustration and shoots other staff or students. Conservatives will never understand that more guns only brings more violence. We've been through this. Time to move along

Harry D

Guns bring violence like forks bring obesity. More good people with guns brings less violence and will make schools hard targets that bad guys avoid. Look on bright side, if a teacher caps a misbehaving student, discipline will greatly improve for a few days at least. Think outside liberal box.

Max DeYoung

Only a democrat would think that a teacher would leave a gun where a student could have access to it. You can't make this stuff up. Common sense is not their forte, it's not even in their vocabulary. Democrats should not be in teaching facilities, they are too unstable.

Max DeYoung

Safer in school, than downtown Columbia. According to CPD records.

With the exception of Drag Queen Story Time.

No, but most parents say "it can`t happen at OUR school"

Jennifer M

Jack L, you're right. All this forum is about "people" full of hate speech and childish insults. Notice it's all the conservatives doing it too. I have better things to do than be in here with these idiots. It's all yours. Hopefully you can grow up and be decent members of society

Jennifer M

Justin, it looks like you got half your tattoos from prison. Hope you didn't put out too much to get them. I guess no matter how much make up and clothes you put on a p.o.s, it's still going to be a real p.o.s.

Jack L

Jennifer, this message board is just KMIZ`s playpen for radical Trumpers. No serious issues are discussed here, it`s just childish insults and mud throwing.All of the progressives have left this site a long time ago. There are many better message boards to join. Good luck to you

Harry D

@JM: You complain about hate speech and childish insults, then you make homophobic comments and call people pos. LOL. Follow your own rules (Saul A.#4). Conservatives on this site are offering real, fact based, solutions, with a healthy dose of sarcasm and humor, that actually solve problems. LOL

Jennifer M

Harry, the day you all offer anything at all on here based on fact and not conspiracy theories is a day Trump becomes an honest and respectful person

Max DeYoung

Harry, you know the truth is like a poison dart to a democrat. They can't stand to hear the truth, and they are unable to say the truth. And they all suffer from TDS.

Jennifer M

Just continue on with your pathetic ideologies with guns, election fraud, etc. Max you seem to have a bit of sense at times. Harry just follows along with whatever he reads online or on fox comedy. Justin is just an example of recidivism at its finest. Or is that too big of a word?

Max DeYoung

Jennifer, if you can't handle the heat, leave the kitchen.

Jack L

Just ignore these clowns Jennifer, LOL, I`m laughing my keister off at them. This is the most fun I have had in a month....

Jack L

Jennifer, you have to realize that these guys are not used to being bested by a female. Their delicate macho egos can`t handle that.

Max DeYoung

Jennifer, see if you can get Jack to a social worker and back on his meds again. He is slurring his words. He keeps trying to hurt our feelings, but we just don't care. Our skin is too old and too tough.

Jack L

Max, you`re right about your skin being "too old" Not so sure about the rest of it though

Jennifer M

Geez Max, you act like you're a $2 steak. Old and tough....lol

Belinda Kitchen

Because here in the town where I'm at the schools are not checking the kids or having them them wand for any thing suspicious. They still go in the bathrooms and vape and nothing is done . They do drug check in lockers maybe 1 or 2 times a year. Teachers don't care seems like so why should the kid

It's very cool.

Bill Douglas

UM athletics is an arm of govt. they do not earn anything. That Univ produces nothing but obnoxious computer geeks who get jobs for state govt agencies like the DOT spending their days synchronizing traffic lights that nobody understands like the asburgers nerd we have in my hometown up here in NWMO

What a tragic waste of money.

Bill Douglas

So what are you going to do about it?

Bill Douglas

so what are you going to do about it? Just sit there and complain online or are you going to actually do something to put a stop to this we are here in my hometown. We are filing complaints against any state employee we can think of who graduated from this university: REVOKE THEIR DEGREES!!!

Will Mason

I didn't know we had 250 million laying around to spend on sports.

Bill Douglas

Would you like the name and number of a state employee who is a graduate of this university? Who continues to support this athletic program? Would you join our effort to remove him from state employment for being a UM grad?

Harry D

MU Athletics makes their money the hard way - they earn it.

Zaos Gonzolez

This is so destructive to the environment. I want MU to close for good. MU RUINS MO!

Bill Douglas

if you really believe that, what do you propose we do about the alumni and supporters of this university and it’s athletic programs? are you willing to join our effort to hold these people accountable? Would you be willing to start filing complaints against alumni of this university employers?

Like most drivers, I have one hand holding my fast food, other hand holding my cell phone, a knee on the steering wheel, and rarely look up from my cell phone so I don't know if other drivers are so irresponsible to be driving distracted or not. I certainly don't drive distracted, that's bad. FJB

Faye Friedrich

Many time ppl are seen looking/using phone while driving crossing the line on the road or having to slam on their brakes so they don't hit the car in front of them.
