Principal: Let Students Hurl Canned Food at Intruders
An Alabama middle school principal wants to stockpile cans of corn and peas in classrooms for students to hurl at possible intruders as a last resort defense.
In a letter Friday, W.F. Burns Middle School Principal Priscella Holley asked parents to have each student bring an 8-ounce canned item.
"We realize at first this may seem odd; however, it is a practice that would catch an intruder off guard," she wrote in the letter, published by TV station WHNT in Huntsville.
"The canned food item could stun the intruder or even knock him out until the police arrive," Holley wrote. "The canned food item will give the students a sense of empowerment to protect themselves and will make them feel secure in case an intruder enters their classroom."
The school is in Valley, Alabama, part of the Chambers County school system.
Chambers County Schools Superintendent Kelli Hodge told The Associated Press on Tuesday that school staff had been working with Auburn University's Department of Public Safety on training to respond to such emergencies.
However, Chance Corbett, Auburn's associate director of public safety, said he had actually referred the school to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency for active shooter training after learning Monday that school officials wanted the training.
The food cans would be stored in classrooms and students wouldn't be carrying them around school, Hodge told the AP.
Using cans or other items as weapons would be a last resort for students unable to evacuate, she said.
Teachers are taught to barricade classroom doors if an intruder is in the school, but if that fails, the cans and items such as textbooks could be used, she said.
"If somebody is going to force their way through, then as the last resort you would start throwing any objects you could get your hands on," Hodge said.
Sounds like something the dumescrats would do. Someone pointing a AK47 and we are going to throw a can of peas at them, good luck.

Yep, sounds just like my idiot liberal friend who said that all a person needs for self defense is a gun that only holds one bullet (spelled "billet", sigh...)

Just another make them feel good deal. When each school should have a number of firearms trained teachers and staff that will shoot and talk about it later.

You have that correct cold Iron! I guess since they screw up everythimg they touch explains why they are such prolific breeders.

Soup cans? what crap, with the availability of small powerful pistols the kids need a gun in their desk. With a couple of hours of safety training and monthly range time on the playground every kid third grade and up could play a role in their own defense in a real way, by standing their ground not running and hiding or throwing cans. Smaller kids should be given tasers or cans of mace to fend off attackers. Any kid misusing his or her weapon will of course be disarmed until they take another safety class and be subject to a time out. I plan to outfit my third grader with a ruger lcp with a laser sight, she is small for her age but can take the recoil of a 380. The boy is big for eighth grade and is desperate for a desert eagle but I told him he will have to get proficient with his 1911 45 and wait for high school for the desert eagle. As they say in the NRA an armed playground is a polite playground, and heaven knows our schools parks and playgrounds could use some good old fashioned courtesy.

"Kevyn", you are the funny one!! Some of your left wing tongue and cheek BS would bust me up if I didn't realy know your true colors. My guess is a water pistol would wad your panty hose so far up your butt you would call Nancey P. to see if you had to vote on it to see if you could unwad.

No, tracers, you can see where they went before you flush.

Canned peas against bullets. About as useful and realistic as the "duck and cover" drills in the 1950's against nuclear attack.
