Question: I recently resigned my position as a middle school teacher because I was shot at by a student. What is your position on school violence, and how do you propose to help remedy the problem?

Answer from Howard Phillips:
Real Local Control Of Education Is The Key
The Constitution Party stands for true local control of education without federal interference.
The best way to deal with school violence is to make education locally accountable and parentally accountable.
To the extent that communities decide to have common schools, they need to give parental consent and support to teachers so that they have the authority to discipline, expel and bring criminal charges, where necessary, against students whose conduct merits such a response.
