First armed school marshals trained in Fort Worth.

Has Texas gone too far? Fort Worth Star-Telegram has recently released an article on the first armed school marshals. School marshals are very identical with air marshals. As air marshals are inside airplanes, school marshals are in schools. Any full-time school employee, ranging from the superintendent to a normal school teacher can operate the duties of an armed school marshal.  To be eligible as a school marshal, a school employee must own a concealed handgun permit, pass the psychological exam, and follow the requirements of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. Only then can the school employee undergo training sessions. However, the training session is only 80 hours long. Although they stated more training will take place in August, I feel as though that is not enough time for any ordinary school employee to commit to protecting hundreds or thousands of lives. This article is worth reading because of the many school shootings that has happened in the past few decades. School shootings are an important situation that has been ongoing for years and I was actually pleasantly surprised that something like this would start to occur.  I believe the idea of having school marshals is great but I don't believe that anyone as ordinary as school employees should be qualified as a school marshal.
