At least have to decency to go to the Salvation Army and pick up a set of crappy old golf clubs and screwed up range balls ... Heck, the school district that was issuing buckets of rocks was better than this ... at least rocks are free and you can throw them farther than you can whiff with that "bat" ...
So the anti-gun company line after Parkland was that "a highly trained cop with a 9mm handgun can't be expected to stand up to a shooter with a high-powered, military-grade assault rifle . . . so we can't just allow teachers to carry handguns."
But mini baseball bats . . . now THAT's got potential.
Would a kid who brought a mini bat to school be expelled for bringing in a weapon? I realize it's not as dangerous as a pop tart chewed into the shape of a gun, but zero tolerance and all that.
Mini-Bats are a felony in CA
"Under California Law (PC 12020) carrying a "billy" is a felony. The courts have defined a baseball bat as a billy but only when it has been modified or shortened in some way."

Look at it positively, at least they are moving in the right direction of arming the teachers with "something". What "something" is down the road can be adjusted/upgraded, but it at least gives the mindset of fighting back a foothold, and a step into the classroom. Beats the "quietly cower on the floor behind a closed door" and opens the door to taking pro-active action.
Small steps in the right direction beat no progress at all, or worse, the wrong direction. The left is king of doing this, and has been successful to a degree. Understand the tools and tactics and the possible uses of said tactics.
New teacher (and a baseball coach).
