Dean Whitehead

Hi Ann - a highly topical and 'controversial' topic if you do not mind me saying. My response is a bit 'tongue in cheek' (being both a UK and Kiwi Citizen) - but I hope that your travels/investigations take you to New Zealand as a 'field site'. Try Dunblane, in the UK, as well. No-one called for teachers to be armed after the massacre there - and the national 'no gun' legacy lives on from that. My argument is that if you just focus on the US context, and not the international context, then you will end up with a 'skewed' perspective.

Couldn’t agree with Dean any more. The idea of arming teachers after the Dunblane massacre (I live and work in Scotland around 30 miles from Dublane) would have been labelled as insanity. And I use that word deliberately. This is a peculiarly American “solution” to a problem that occurs nowhere else in the world with regularity. That such a rudiculous suggestion is even taken seriously and debated in the US is a worthy topic of attention: how (on earth) did insane solutions become palatable policy suggestions? Kingdon’s concepts of Policy Windows and Policy Streams might help, and literature inspired bu his work.
