Biden administration is 'leveling a direct attack on hunters’ ability to pass down hunting to the newest generations,' hunting expert tells Fox News Digital
The Biden administration is blocking key federal funding earmarked under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 for schools with hunting and archery programs.
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."
According to Floyd, his organization boasts 1.3 million students from nearly 9,000 schools across 49 states who are enrolled in archery courses. Some of those schools have already canceled plans to include archery or hunting education courses in their curriculum due to the Education Department guidance.

They hate us.

Anyone remember when one of BOs first acts was to tax tanning salons - a move that affected a business that only served caucasians.
But they keep teaching LGBTQIABC and Trans garbage and telling students that America is racist.
Your government hates you. Hate them back.
Eliminate DOE. Stop fed control of public schools
Exactly
bttt!
Here (Kali) there was a Ca. Dept of Fish and Game.
It’s now ...Fish and Wildlife.
The Dept of Forestry is now CalFire.
Shoot....Skin....Shovel....Shut the F Up.
Federal funding of edumacation IS the problem.
Parents should be the ultimate determinators of training their kids.
Just one more example of government goons wanting to control EVERY aspect of our lives. Tell me one thing they don’t control. Air, land, water...
The headline says schools with hunting and archery classes are having federal funds withheld, but the text reads “school hunting and archery classes are precluded from receiving federal funding” which isn’t quite the same thing. Why should there be federal funding for an archery or hunting class?
And don’t you love how if Republicans sign onto something, the bill is called “The Bipartisan Imprison Trump Act”.
Is Jao BiXiden a Polar Bear?
“..They hate us...”
Its gone waaaay past that: they want us totally defenseless...and dead.
And, FWIW at this point, the feelings are quite mutual to say the least.
It’s apparent that they want to replace us with their marauding herds of illegals, but they know they can’t totally pull that off against a well-armed society.
They’re scared spitless of us and are total chickenshite: they know we’d kick their sorry arses six ways to Sunday.
Good grief. Let’s back to basics. Reading, writing and arithmetic. Is it any wonder our education system sucks with all these classes that take away from the basics:
Federal funding equals federal control and that goes double for law enforcement.
These people are freakin nut balls......
This act by the Brandon Mis-administration is solely about disarming the US general population. When the Govt. wants to take away your arms, its because they’re planning something that people would want to shoot them for.
