@GovernorVA Governor, If you had a chance to attend our middle school social studies class you might have realized the Soviet Union no longer exists. But hey, at least the kids know. #historyteacher #historymatters

100% Navy, earned Expert firearms rating. I'm comfortable with handling weapons. I'm also a teacher & not comfortable with any teacher being armed. Also, what will my 9mm do vs an assault rifle that can rip through the door & desks?

Truth. Same here, I teach and am a Marine. Republicans are insane to think the underfunded public schools will be able to arm and train teachers to a safe standard. Besides, Uvlade had tons of trained/armed police on hand...they didn't go in and kids died.

@amandadeibert July 4th, the fireworks got too loud. My old girl took off. Found her next day. A strangers family had taken her in. She came running through their yard, they could see how scared she was. They put their dogs away, turned off their music and never lit off their fireworks.
