Feds withholding key funding for schools with hunting, archery programs |
2023-07-31 |
[Fox News] According to federal guidance circulated among hunting education groups and shared with Fox News Digital, the Department of Education determined that, under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) passed last year, school hunting and archery classes are precluded from receiving federal funding. The interpretation could impact millions of American children enrolled in such programs. "It's a negative for children. As a former educator of 30-plus years, I was always trying to find a way to engage students," Tommy Floyd, the president of the National Archery in the Schools Program, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "In many communities, it's a shooting sport, and the skills from shooting sports, that help young people grow to be responsible adults. They also benefit from relationships with role models." "You've got every fish and wildlife agency out there working so hard to utilize every scrap of funding, not only for the safety and hunter education, but for the general understanding of why stewardship is so important when it comes to natural resources," he continued. "Any guidance where it's even considered a ’maybe’ or a prohibition for shooting sports is a huge negative." |

#12 I’m surprised Devon stayed alive until today. Hillary must be disgusted with Joe’s lack of initiative. |

#10 Speaking of archers, Devon appears to be testifying and ratting out Joe. That surprises me. It seems to be against his interest in staying alive. |

#8 There are so many different pathways to fund education programs — national organizations, state departments of wildlife, sporting groups — there really is no need for federal funding, and it is probably much faster and easier to get support elsewhere. Skidmark’s ROTC is just one of a great many. Like the Chik-fil-A boycott that quickly turned into a buy-cott, turning away from federal funding is probably the best way to spike their guns against future efforts to control the outcome by controlling the pursestrings. Especially if the hunting and archery programs are tied into state mandated curricula items. At one point my little PTA committee had put together a 3” thick binder with prepared lesson plans — including classroom materials — to fulfill Ohio state curriculum points for grades K-6 using the elementary school’s 5 acre nature preserve, including art, language arts, and science topics, among others. |

#5 So, don't whine, open a Jr. ROTC recruiting chapter. Shooting, marching, PT, early boot summer sessions, scholarships. Everything they could ask for. |
