Joe Biden: Ban Federal Funds for Training Teachers in Firearm Usage
2020-06-09
[BREITBART] Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
’s gun control policy statement includes a push to prohibit the use of any federal funds to train teachers in firearm usage for classroom defense.
They don't need no damn training. Let 'em just blast away.
The statement on JoeBiden.com says, "We should be passing rational gun laws, not requiring educators who already have too much on their plates to also protect the safety of their students."
You'd think that it would be rational that anyone who may remotely be required to discharge a gun would be trained to do it, but maybe that's just me.
It goes on to say, "Biden supports barring states from using federal dollars to arm or train educators to discharge firearms."
Art, music, civics, geography, and actual history can be replaced by junk courses, but don't teach teachers how to protect students.
Biden’s Education Plan lists as one of his main goals, "defeat the National Rifle Association," Breitbart News reported.
I'm not sure how a purely partisan political objective fits with an "Education Plan."
Therefore, two aspects of Biden’s approach to education/school safety are no federal funds to train teachers to use firearms for classroom defense, and defeat the NRA.

#2  It's second in the Constitution but some things he would direct oodles of taxpayer looted cash for are nowhere or pretty directly advocated against.
