I Support Harrold ISD, Do You?
September 1, 2008Controversy is still raging over the decision at Harrold ISD to allow Concealed Carry License holding teachers to have their firearms on campus.
Two geographic factors make Harrold’s school vulnerable, he said. It is only about 1,000 feet from the four-lane U.S. 287, yet it’s 18 miles away from the local Sheriff’s Office.
“I don’t want to call a parent and say, ‘Some bad guy came in, and your kid’s dead, and we didn’t have a good plan to prevent it,’ ” Thweatt said last week from his office.
Citizens seem unaware of the idea of “preparing for the worst”:
“We’re not exactly a downtown metropolis, a seedbed of crime,” said Diane Brown, a Harrold resident whose two adult sons passed through Harrold’s schools. “We’ve lived here for 45 years and can’t recall the last houses that got burglarized.”
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather not wait around and be unprepared the day, God forbid, some killer decides to cause chaos at a school.
I, for one, would rather be ready.
How about you?
If you also support Harrold ISD why don’t you send Superindendent David Thweatt an email telling him you support his decision?
