Armed Teachers by: Juliet Moeller

At the start of your blog I began thinking this would be just another rant about how teachers should be allowed to carry weapons at schools to protect the children and themselves from school shooters. After I finished reading, I could see that you gave this topic much thought and created a plan on how to execute the idea of having armed teachers in school. I have children who attend school and the thought of a possible school shooting happening where they attend crosses my mind often. Although having armed teachers to protect them seemed like a good start to combat the possibility, I was still skeptical on how I or anyone could trust teachers to carry a gun on campus just because we assumed, they’d protect our children. What if the teacher isn’t capable of that responsibility? What if it is a teacher with permission to carry who does the shooting next time? What if a student gets to the teacher’s weapon? How do we control those outcomes? Your plan to have mental health screenings, extensive and proper training, and the suggestion of how to keep the weapons secure and safe gave me the feeling that there is a possibility it could work. With more detail and information on how this plan could be executed, I agree that these could be important steps towards making schools safer.

Should vaccinations be mandatory for adults and children throughout the United States?

Whether or not vaccinations should be mandatory by the State and Local Government has been debated for years. Proponents of vaccinations state that vaccinations are safe and could easily be the greatest health development of the 20th century. Opponents of vaccinations state that children's immune system can fight most infections naturally. Injecting questionable vaccine ingredients into children can have serious side effects. With great arguments made on both sides of this debate the big question is are these vaccines even worth the damage they could potentially cause our children and whose choice should it be whether or not to vaccinate his/herself or their children? 

Many if not all vaccines contain harmful ingredients that can cause serious disorders and health issues. These harmful ingredients include but are not limited to Mercury compounds, Aluminum, Formaldehyde, and Glutaraldehyde. These harmful ingredients have been linked to autism and neurological harm to the human body. They may cause side effects such as cardiac impairment and central nervous system depression. All vaccines carry a risk of life-threating allergic reactions for children and could potentially cause real damage to a child. Not only do these vaccines have the potential to cause harm to children but it infringes upon constitutionally protected religious freedoms. There are several religions that oppose vaccines and mandatory vaccinations to make these individuals with religious preferences against vaccinations go through a long drawn out process to be exempt from vaccinations is against the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. Government should not be allowed to intervene in personal medical choices, one should have the right to make his or her own decisions on what their bodies endure or what does or doesn't not get injected into their bodies. The government should not have the power to make medical decisions for us.
