Who says the GOP is not the party of ideas? A Republican who wants to be the next superintendent of schools for Oklahoma has burned the midnight oil to come up with a plan to keep students safe in the event of a school shooting.
Or, judging by the plan itself, maybe it was something green with buds that he was burning. AP:
A candidate for state superintendent of schools said Thursday he wants thick used textbooks placed under every student’s desk so they can use them for self-defense during school shootings.
“People might think it’s kind of weird, crazy,” said Republican Bill Crozier of Union City, Oklahoma, a teacher and former Air Force security officer. “It is a practical thing; it’s something you can do. It might be a way to deflect those bullets until police go there.”
Hey man, pass the bong this way. Oh wow, you know what we should do? We should, like, shoot some books and make a video!
Crozier and a group of aides produced a 10-minute video Tuesday in which they shoot math, language and telephone books with a variety of weapons, including an AK-47 assault rifle and a 9mm pistol. The rifle bullet penetrated two books, including a calculus textbook, but the pistol bullet was stopped by a single book.
Crozier said the demonstration shows that a student could effectively use a textbook as protection in a school shooting.
For those not on drugs, it’s hard to respond to the idea seriously.
An Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokesman was skeptical.
“He probably needs to take a look at some ballistics tests,” Lt. Pete Norwood said. “There are some rifles not even Webster’s Dictionary will stop.”
YEA!!!! LEAVE IT TO THE REPUGS TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS! HA HA VERY FUNNY! NO WONDER THEY NEED TO BE PUT OUT TO PASTURE FOR SURE!
