House Passes Resolution Against Biden’s Attack on School Hunting Programs

Published

On Tuesday night, the U.S. House passed a resolution against President Joe Biden’s attacks on school hunting and archery programs by a vote of 424-1.

The clerk for the U.S. House listed the one lone “nay” vote as being cast by Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX).

Breitbart News pointed to reports in late June indicating the Biden administration was blocking funding to schools with hunting and/or archery programs under the guise that the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, in combination with the Bi-Partisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), prohibited funding for schools if certain weapons are used.

The BSCA, which was passed in the summer of 2022 with the help of Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), amended a subsection in the ESEA to prohibit any act to provide dangerous weapons or pay for “training in the use of a dangerous weapon.”

The resolution, H.R. 5110, is sponsored by Rep. Mark Green (R-IN). It is designed to amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, thereby removing any opportunity for Biden’s education department to use the ESEA to piggyback on the BSCA for the purposes of withholding funding over school hunting and/or archery programs.

The resolution against Biden’s attack on hunting and archery programs must now pass in the Senate.
