Oregon School District Board Reconsidering Housing Assault Riffle in High Schools
The Oregon School District Board, Wis. is asking the Village of Oregon to reconsider the school resource officer agreement for the new school year, as it allows the police chief to direct the housing of an AR-15 style assault riffle in the high school for safety.
According to a news report, dozens of parents are against the measure and do not think it will provide a safer environment for students. Tim LeBrun, a Board member said he set out to find any evidence to show that having a rifle would help, but he concluded that there was no evidence that having a weapon would not make schools any safer, notes the report.
