Remember: Vukmir, Nicholson Want Armed Teachers, Guns In Classrooms

MADISON — As students in Wisconsin and across the country participate in walkouts and marches to assert their right to feel and be safe from gun violence both in and out of school, Wisconsin’s Republican U.S. Senate candidates are calling for adding guns in classrooms, rather than heading the students’ calls for commonsense gun safety reforms.
Just last month, Leah Vukmir and Kevin Nicholson each endorsed arming teachers and putting guns inside classrooms — a position opposed by 56% of Americans.
