Education Secretary Says Arming Teachers Is Among ‘Stupidest’ Proposals Because You Can’t Just Give A Gun To A Substitute

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona claimed on Thursday that it would be among the “stupidest proposals” to arm teachers — and then argued that was because if a trained teacher were to then take time off, a gun couldn’t just be handed off to the substitute.

Cardona joined the conversation on ABC’s midday talk show “The View,” where he fielded several questions about school safety in the wake of the recent shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.
