School Gun Plan Prompts Recall Try

Item: Bonner County school gun proposal prompts recall drive/Cameron Rasmusson, Daily Bee

More Info: Opponents of the proposal to arm school staff have launched a recall effort against Lake Pend Oreille School District trustee Steve Youngdahl. Spearheaded by Tom Bokowy, Jacinda Bokowy, Stephanie Aitken and Sandpoint City Council candidate Bill Aitken, their efforts produced the minimum number of signatures to launch a recall petition against Youngdahl. Supporters have just over 70 days remaining to collect the necessary 105 signatures to bring the issue to ballot. According to Tom and Jacinda Bokowy, they’ve accumulated more than a third of that requirement. If enough signatures are collected, residents of district Zone 5 will vote on the recall in a special election.

Question: Is Youngdahl's proposal to allow some teachers to carry guns in Bonner County schools offensive enough for a recall attempt?
