The Department of Education is reportedly looking into letting
states use federal funds to buy guns for teachers. According to
The New York Times, a grants program in federal education law
doesn't specifically prohibit weapons purchases. So Education
Secretary Betsy DeVos could use that program to approve state or
district plans to use those federal funds to pay for
firearms and firearms training for schools. But the Trump
administration is disputing The Times' report. A senior
administration official told CNN the idea didn't come from DeVos
or the Education Department. The official said DeVos does want
Congress to clarify whether schools can use federal funds to
buy guns, though. If the Education Department is looking
into this, it would run counter to a move Congress made in March
that allocated $50 million a year to schools for security but
stated the money shouldn't be used to purchase weapons. And
the plan would likely face backlash, seeing as the Trump
administration's call to give educators firearms has received
a lot of criticism already. A spokeswoman for the Education
Department told multiple outlets that the department is
"constantly considering and evaluating policy issues,"
especially those related to school safety. But she also said
the department doesn't issue opinions on hypothetical
scenarios.
