Funny, you don't hear any more talk about arming teachers ever since they've been storming the state capitals!

That's not the way it happened in West Virginia. The school boards across the state were standing with the teachers, including making each day of the nine-day walk out essentially an "excused absence" rather than an actual strike.

The folks who opposed the walk out were Republican legislators, and the state's Republican attorney general Patrick Morrisey, who published an official statement at the beginning of the walk out, telling county school boards and other officials that he (the attorney general) would happily arrest any teachers if requested. Not a single school board, sheriff, county commissioner or other official took him up on the deal.

I love my state!
