Ivanka Trump: Arming teachers an option that ‘needs to be discussed’

Ivanka Trump said in an exclusive interview with NBC News on Sunday that her father's suggestion of arming teachers is an option worth discussing. The president made the proposal after a gunman killed 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Florida, this month.

In an interview Sunday in South Korea, where Trump led the U.S. presidential delegation to the closing ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games, NBC News' Peter Alexander asked Trump, the mother of three young children, whether she thinks providing teachers with firearms would make students safer.

"To be honest, I don't know," Trump said. "Obviously, there would have to be an incredibly high standard for who would be able to bear arms in our school. But I think there is no one solution for creating safety."
