Majority of US Teachers Oppose Arming Educators, Fear It Would Worsen Student Safety

Most teachers think arming educators would make schools less safe, not safer.
Over half of teachers surveyed strongly opposed policies allowing teachers to carry guns in schools.
Teachers listed bullying and cyberbullying as their top safety concerns for students, not active shooters.
While some white male teachers in rural areas supported arming educators, most teachers and especially black teachers opposed it.
Despite over 260 mass shootings so far this year, arming teachers is not a solution most support to improve school safety.
