The Biden administration has banned hunting and archery programs in all public schools. Any shooters out there who are providing training or mentoring in these programs, take note.
If schools continue such programs, then they stand to lose federal dollars for athletic programs.

"The Biden administration confirmed to Fox News Digital that it is withholding critical funds for elementary and secondary schools nationwide with hunting or archery programs in their curriculum.
" '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.
"According to the International Hunter Education Association, hunter education courses train and certify more than 500,000 students annually. Such courses are a reason hunting related injury rates have declined for years while populations of deer, wild turkey, elk, geese and other species of game have increased exponentially for years.
"The legislation included an amendment to an ESEA subsection listing prohibited uses for federal school funding. That amendment prohibits ESEA funds from helping provide any person with a dangerous weapon or to provide 'training in the use of a dangerous weapon.'
