Take Action to tell Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos NO to using education funding to put guns in schools at https://action.momsrising.org/sign/devos_arming_teachers.
BACKGROUND: U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is considering a plan that would allow states to use federal funding to buy firearms for teachers in order to prevent school shootings. Across the country, teachers have been striking because they are underpaid and their classrooms are underfunded. Using precious education resources on firearms would be not only an unprecedented break from federal policy, but a profound gesture of disrespect to educators and students who are currently struggling in their school environments. Join us to demand Devos fulfill her duty to see that the children of our nation get a well-rounded, well-organized public education in safe and healthy environments by arming schools with the tools and resources they need for their students to succeed, NOT by arming them with dangerous firearms!
