During Thursday's edition of MSNBC Live With Hallie Jackson, host Hallie Jackson and her panel engaged in a discussion about a New York Times report describing Secretary of Education Betsy Devos's plans to allow schools to use Federal funds to buy guns for their teachers. According to panelist Yamiche Alcindor, "Some advocates are very worried about the racial impacts that this will have. You look at Erica's reporting, if you start arming teachers, and you look at the statistics and see that there are black and brown students...who are being disciplined more than their white counterparts, you can then start seeing statistics where potentially black students are getting shot or in accidents when teachers are trying to shoot or trying to do gun safety measures."
