A beloved Iraq veteran who happens to be a teacher was suspended for voicing his opinion on arming teachers in the classroom. After Timothy Locke’s suspension, the students and their parents protested for several days. They’ve only been told by the school administration that this is a “personnel” matter. One of the students expressed frustration that the teachers are forced into silence about the lack of security because they’re afraid they’ll be punished for speaking out.

Pointing out the lack of security at the school is what this teacher is being punished for and the students are outraged: “What they did to this amazing teacher is completely unfair and absurd.” – Student at Cherry Hill High School
