School district arms teachers with baseball bats

A Pennsylvania school district is arming hundreds of teachers with baseball bats in the wake of a recent school shooting that has revitalized the debate over school safety.
Each teacher in the school district will be given a 16-inch bat and receive training on how to respond to a potential school shooting, Erie News Now reported on Tuesday.
Hall said the bats are primarily “symbolic” but an option in case a teacher needs to fight back during a school shooting, Erie News Now reported.
The district conducted a survey to see how the public would support the idea of arming certain staff members with guns if a measure is legalized in Pennsylvania.
“We though just putting that one question out there would give us an idea how the community felt,” said Hall. “It was about 70 percent to 30 percent that people would favor that, but we’re not really actively planning that right now.” LINK

Bringing a bat to a gun fight is even worse than bringing a knifeto a gun fight.

The bucket of rocks were a bad idea, but at least ya can hurl a few rocks at someone.

This plan doesn't sound like a home run.

Why don't they give all teachers a copy of Home Alone so they can learn all of those cool booby-traps?
Would be as effective and more fun / entertaining

16 inches because no one needs an 18-inch assault bat for self-defense.
