So Sen @johnforutah asked if I read the new Florida Social Studies Standards. I did, and I have a lot of questions. I'll only highlight a few that are of interest, either due to current news or my own observations as a History teacher. #uted #utpol 1/many

It shouldn't matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.

Unarmed teachers already end more incidents than licensed & armed citizens. These incidents usually involve students. I don't want to teach in a school where teachers are perfectly comfortable shooting students w/o hesitation, b/c that's what the "arm teachers" answer requires.

Each of our staff members chose a word to live by this year. For staff appreciation, my co-principal and I hand-stamped bracelets with each word and wrote a note of how they demonstrated that word. I hope they loved them as much as we loved making them.

We already have school choice and we expect a sitting Congress person, to know that.
Of course you don't know much about Utah, and this idiotic tweet further proves that.
