What's Your Opinion?
Compiled by Bill O'Neill
Question: A company in Texas has been hired to teach children in one school district to fight back and use objects in reach if a gunman ever invades their classroom. Do you think this is a good idea or not? Why?
 | | "I think that's a horrible idea. I think kids can get hurt in the process of trying to take a weapon from somebody else. It could only make the problem or the situation much worse than it is."
Aleta Malloy, Canarsie |

 | | "You could look at this two different ways. It could be a danger to kids. Let's say the kid picks up a chair - and that instigates the gunman to start shooting. But then again, it might work - and the kids can defend themselves."
Carlos Morales, Canarsie |
|
 | | "The kids can't fight back. I don't think that's a good idea. They should have more security - and take better security measures. Don't put a burden to defend themselves on small children."
John Lee, Queens |

 | | "No, I don't think it's a good idea. I think it's a bad idea. A lot of times the gunman's intent is to get publicity to support some cause. So you'll give them that publicity, and that might provoke an intruder to hurt the children."
