Surely that will work...

Pennsylvania school district issues toy bats to teachers so they can deal with mass killers. The article says they are to be used as a "last resort," and are kept locked up in case a teacher goes nuts and begins tapping people with one. They must have some strange teachers out there.

Mini-baseball bats are still lethal weapons, just not effective weapons. And locked up? Might as well grab the large scissors off their desk, better weapon and faster access.

I think the important thing here is not the issuance of bats but promulgation of the idea that fighting is a reasonable response.

Compared to the pacifist/suicidal hide/run course, going down fighting is going to be presented every time someone looks at the bat.

Given the skill sets of modern "educators" when it comes to aggressive self-defense or protecting children in their charge, this is a sea change, best taken a little gently.

Baby steps, but a sea change.
