I'd be interested in the specifics of the flyer. A couple comments. It is possible to advocate for peaceful resolution of conflicts within an elementary school without suggesting that the United States disarm unilaterally and declare military surrender.
I'll go out on a limb and say I support efforts to help young people learn how to resolve disputes without violence. But, of course, if that doesn't work, our legislature, by legalizing guns in school, would provide an alternative dispute resolution option. There are a number of schools in the Twin Cities and around the country that have declared themselves peace sites. This has an interesting local angle, as Minneapolis resident Lynn Elling has been a tireless worker in the effort.
