Florida lawmakers approve bill allowing teachers to be armed
Florida's House of Representatives on Wednesday approved a bill allowing teachers to carry firearms -- a controversial step whose effectiveness in countering school shootings remains unproven. The aim of the measure, which was previously approved by the state's Senate and now goes to Republican Governor Ron DeSantis's desk, is the prevention of school shootings such as one that left 17 people dead at a high school in Parkland, Florida in February 2018. Supporters of the bill -- which permits teachers to carry firearms on school campuses on a voluntary basis after they have completed 144 hours of training -- say armed teachers could save lives in the event of a school shooting. But its opponents warn of the danger of accidents among teachers who would effectively be tasked with policing as well as education, and who, in the event of a school shooting, could be mistaken for a shooter by law enforcement. "Arming teachers is a recipe for disaster -- a reckless plan which will complicate ..

When students at Ceilandia state school No. 7 in Brazil's capital came back from their break in February, they were met by two dozen uniformed police officers in a place they barely recognized anymore. Guns in their holsters, the officers ordered students to form rows in the schoolyard. The students were given white T-shirts pending the arrival of their new uniforms. From now on, hair would have to be kept short for boys and tied at the back for girls. No more shorts, caps, brightly colored nail varnish, earrings or any distinctive pieces of clothing. Students arriving late wouldn't be let in. "Sometimes we feel intimidated," said Michael Pereira da Silva, 17, who was against the decision to hire police to instill military-like discipline in the school. "Just going out into the hall, we are obligated to bow our heads or say hello to police officers." Although experiments began in previous years, the quasi-military approach is one of the most visible educational efforts being ...
