The Times Opinion podcast “First Person” is back for a new season. Today’s episode is part one of a two-part story on the educators who are considering whether to bring guns into their classrooms.
America’s teachers have to make choices unimaginable anywhere else in the industrialized world. In today’s episode, host Lulu Garcia-Navarro speaks to a Utah county sheriff who, after learning that teachers were bringing unsecured guns into classrooms, started a concealed-carry training program for educators.
Next week, a special-education teacher has to decide what puts the children in her care more at risk — carrying a gun or facing a merciless killer without a defense.
