SCHOOL ARMS TEACHERS WITH MINIATURE BASEBALL BATS TO STOP MASS SHOOTERS.
The Millcreek School District in Erie County says its 500 teachers will be armed with 16-inch bats. The superintendent says the bats were given to each teacher after an in-service training day on how to respond to school shootings.
Wait. They actually trained teachers how to use a souvenir bat to stop someone with a real gun that fires real bullets? I would have loved to have attended that training session, just for the pure comedy.
When you set your goals this low, they are so easy to achieve. His goal was to pass out miniature bats and by gum he did it. Too bad his goal wasn’t coming up with a non-stupid plan to keep students safe.
He says the bats are primarily “symbolic,” but they are an option for teachers to use if they need to fight back during a school shooting.
And will they also call the deaths of teachers who take on armed killers with a tiny bat symbolic?
A souvenir baseball bat?
I rather bring a knife to a gunfight.
Ha ha ha, Oh, God. : ))
Who owns the the company that sold the 500 bats?
Who’s your buddy? Rotten bastards.
Their gun beats your bat.

This actually makes a lot of sense. When they’re shooting those slow pistol bullets at you you can just bat them right back at the shooter.
@ B_B I’m watching an original M-1A scout squad with two stocks languishing for $1300 out here.
I almost wanna cry……..
What happens if a teacher is in the midst of a slump?
Obviously they’re more concerned with keeping the shooter safe than anyone else.
Q.: What do you get when you combine an M-16 and a Louisville Slugger?
A.: Assault and battery.
OK, OK, I’m leaving…
Hey, Christian PDX! Great comment! Best tonight! I laughed the cat off my lap.
Play ball! They should at least give them aluminum baseball bats. MORONS!
The bat is not for striking an assailant. The way it works is that a shooter will be unable to stop laughing long enough to fire his, hers or xes weapon.
The Onion cannot keep up with real life.
I can see the hall littered with the bats as they run……….maybe the shooter will slip on one.
Give them some peanuts and crackerjacks
are they made with the same materials as Wonder Woman’s Cuffs?
So, they carry them? Are there holsters? Tucked in your waistband? Hatbands? If they store them in a desk or on a wall, we all know things aren’t close by when needed.
Surely they will be required to keep the bats locked up. You can’t have some child getting access to one of these weapons and seriously hurting a fellow student – even if innocently playing.
Hell’s bells. It’s not a bad idea for the 6′ thug who decides to swat his 5′ teacher in the head. It can’t hurt.
They can get used to the idea, work up to guns. ….Lady in Red
They’d be better off with a bucket of rocks.
I recommend that male teachers not carry their bats in IWB holsters lest they be accused of creating a threatening workplace environment.
Tomorrow they’re getting an Cookie Monster Weapons Dumpster.
Hey now Mojo – I would think that the students’ just knowing that the teachers might be carrying concealed weapons would be triggering.
this came to mind immediately…

16″ bats?
No one needs a bat that big just for hunting…
BTW, rocks are already outlawed, too dangerous for common people.
I suppose a regulation bat would now be illegal.
If I did not have over 30 relatives that were/are teachers I’d say “teachers have always been dumb”. But I did not say it.
Just stencil “AR-15” on the bat; it’ll all be good.
Make sure to keep the label ‘up’.
