Taser Talk

Where do you stand on tasers in schools?

Some ITC freshmen were asked their thoughts on it by Teen Voices and had this to say:

"I do not like the thought of being assaulted with a Taser. I believe that a Taser can really harm someone. Tasers, or any other weapons, should not be allowed in any school."
– Damian McKenzie Jr.

"I think it’s horrible that people think Tasers belong in schools. Such a dangerous weapon has no place in our schools. A Taser should only be used if the violence is so bad that other weapons are involved. Students shouldn’t be scared of the officers in their schools."
- Ashley Woolman

"I think that Tasers should be used only if there is a serious matter, like a big fight, and police could not break it up. Also, if someone had a weapon on them a Taser could be justifiably used."
– Michael Dykes

"Tasers should be used in schools. If students get into a fight that the police or staff cannot break up, then a Taser should be used."
- Alex Mitchem
