Poll re Arming Teachers

#1

Post by KLB »

Here's a poll re whether teachers should be armed.

The poll is on the MSNBC website, so it's overwhelmingly negative. If you like the idea, you might consider balancing out the responses.

As usual it is a poorly worded poll.

Agreed that it is poorly worded. There are alternate wordings that might yield different poll results. For example, "Do you agree with laws that disarm teachers and school staff who might otherwise legally carry firearms?"

A lot of these polls are rigged. I seriously doubt 4,969,000 people voted for this MSNBC poll. MSNBC's TV viewers are only 1-2 million link

Agreed, the leftist bots working tirelessly to achieve desired results.
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager
