Insurance company boycotts schools that arm teachers

 

In yet another challenge to the Second Amendment, an insurance company has refused to provide its products to schools that want to protect students by arming teachers or staff members.

Already, President Obama has made curbing gun rights a legislative priority, and his administration has limited the rights of certain veterans, people with various medical diagnoses and users of marijuana in states where possession is legal.

Now, the EMC Insurance Cos., which insures many Kansas schools, has announced it will not cover any school in which certain defensive measures are taken to protect students, such as teachers carrying concealed weapons.

“We understand that the school districts have every right to decide which way they want to go,” a company vice president in Wichita told the Topeka Capital-Journal.

“But we have to make the decision based on what we perceive to be our best financial interest.”
A new state law allows teachers and other workers to carry guns on school grounds under some circumstances. Previously, only police officers were allowed to be armed.
