Thread by @ElastigirlVotes

I just wrote a letter to my congressmen using Democracy.io
It's interesting that the Democrat had the choice of using #GunControl for a topic.
For the two Republicans who pretend to represent me, I had to use #education as #GunReform wasn't an option.
(thread)

1. My letter started with:
Even Justice Scalia agreed that the 2nd Amendment does not extend to military weapons in the hands of civilians. More guns in schools just means more shootings and more deaths.

#NoGunsInSchools

2. I continued with:
For this reason, should it come to pass that guns will be put in schools, I will tender my resignation as a public school teacher in the state of Florida. A teacher in Parkland gave his life protecting his students.
#WeChoose
#NeverAgain

3. I finished with:
The least I can do is stand up for my students even if it means losing my job.

Someone has to have the courage to protect our kids.

#IStandWithTheKids
#HeroesPersist

I am asking my fellow teachers to take a stand. The #Florida legislature is refusing to take meaningful action to protect Floridians from gun violence. Please join me.
#StandYourGround
Refuse to sign another contract until they enact meaningful #GunReformNow
