Celtics are heading to the NBA Finals. Cool.

Hey, what’s up with Texas? They can get all bent out of shape over abortion and pass restrictive legislation in the seeming blink of an eye, but no can do when it comes to gun laws? Even in the wake of Uvalde, they maintain the maddening stance of “thoughts and prayers and a thorough investigation…” blah blah blah.

Saw a quote recently that reasoned if law enforcement people were hesitant to confront a shooter with an AR-15, then how can we expect teachers to take that on? Beyond that, how can we even think about expecting teachers to just be ok with adding weapons training—weapons training!— to an already daunting list of responsibilities and expectations? This is its own form of criminal insanity.
