Who decides what is “safe”? More to the point, WHO IN THE HELL ARE THE SCHOOLS to pressure parents to do SQUAT ALL about guns?
I guess it depends on what you assume their motives are. 40-50 years ago, lots of schools had competitive shooting teams as part of their sports programs. Before that, these programs were among the many that kept the 'art' of marksmanship growing in this country. If the intent is to educate, then we should welcome a (albeit small) step back in that direction.
This is an extension of “public health” and “public safety” initiatives. Doctors asking if you own guns, for your safety. Schools asking if you own guns and “educating” you on their dangers, for the public’s safety.
