U.S. President Joe Biden said on Monday in Washington, D.C. that teaching should not be a “life-threatening profession,” referencing recent school shootings in the country. “I continue to call on Congress for common sense gun safety laws to protect kids and our teachers. Teaching should not be a life-threatening profession, and educators should not need to be armed to feel safe in the classroom,” Biden said.
