Biden admin withholding key funding for schools with hunting, archery programs
Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: The Biden administration is blocking funding for elementary and secondary schools with hunting or archery programs under its interpretation of a recent school safety law.
"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." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"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."
