The Na­tion­al Coun­cil of Par­ent Teacher As­so­ci­a­tions (NPTA) has re­versed its po­si­tion on as­sign­ing po­lice of­fi­cers with guns in the na­tion’s schools.

Speak­ing on CNC3's The Morn­ing Brew show to­day, NPTA pres­i­dent Wal­ter Stew­art said the change of heart came af­ter a re­cent fight be­tween a teacher and a stu­dent at Ari­ma North Sec­ondary School.

It was on­ly two weeks ago that Stew­art had ob­ject­ed to the idea of armed po­lice of­fi­cers be­ing sta­tioned in schools.
