It makes it hard to disagree...

Stuff like this makes it hard to convince people that arming teachers isn't such a good idea after all...

Letters have been sent home with Reagan High school students to advise parents of an attempted assault on a teacher there.

Meanwhile, the Texas Youth Commission is trying to locate the teen who may been responsible. Nathan Manuel Mendoza, 18, did not return to the Turman Halfway House in Austin on Tuesday afternoon.

Mendoza is accused of holding scissors to the teacher's throat and threatening to sexually assault her.

District police say the teacher had allowed him to sit in her classroom after school to work on an assignment.

Mendoza is a registered sex offender. The Texas Youth Commission said the teen should be considered very dangerous.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts should call police immediately.
