Ivanka Trump on Sunday said she didn't think the prospect of arming teachers was a bad idea.
In an interview during her trip to South Korea for the closing of the Winter Olympics, Trump was asked whether she thought arming teachers would make students safer. She neither supported nor condemned the idea.
"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."
Trump, who has advised her father on key decisions before, previewed what she might say if she were to advise him on the issue.
"I think that having a teacher who is armed who cares deeply about her students or his students and who is capable and qualified to bear arms is not a bad idea, but it is an idea that needs to be discussed," Trump said.
