Trump and others want to solve this by giving guns to teachers with military experience.... There are 3.1 million public school and 400,000 private school teachers in America, according to a 2015 National Center for Education Statistics survey. Trump said in his CPAC speech that “military people, law enforcement people, they teach.” And he’s right: Programs like Troops to Teachers and Teach for America’s “You Served for America, Now Teach for America” initiative work hard to train former military members to become teachers. Troops to Teachers was established in 1993. Since then, roughly 20,000 veterans have transitioned into education. While that’s a significant number, it’s still only 0.57 percent of the total teaching population. And that’s assuming all of them are still teaching 25 years later. Teach for America’s program has been around since 2012 and has placed 320 veterans in schools, according to the Military Times. vox.com
