ED-JOE-CATION: Biden Admin Withholds Key Cash From Schools With Hunting, Archery Classes

What’s with the Biden Administration and hunters and archers?

According to a report from Fox News, the Biden Administration is withholding key funds from elementary schools and secondary schools that offer hunting and archery classes.

From Fox News:

The Department of Education explained in a statement that its funding decisions were based on the plain text interpretation of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), which Congress passed and President Biden signed last year after a string of mass shootings. The agency’s interpretation means funding for shooting sport activities earmarked under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 will be blocked across the country.

“This prohibition applies to all ESEA funds,” a Department of Education spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “The prohibition went into effect immediately on June 25, 2022 and applies to all existing and future awards under all ESEA programs, including [21st Century Community Learning Centers]. The Department is administering the bipartisan law as written by Congress.”

Overall, the administration’s decision to withhold funds for such programs may impact thousands of schools and millions of American students.

“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, said in an interview last week. “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.”

Former Governor Mike Huckabee shared the story on X: “When you think Biden bunch couldn’t get dumber, Joe says “Hold my Bud Lite and watch this!”
