        Two days before the school shooting in Florida that left 17 dead, the Trump administration proposed cutting millions in federal education programs meant to help prevent crime in schools and assist them in recovery from tragedies. http://politi.co/2oegmr1 pic.twitter.com/hHDs1ZSxrp

        Just weeks after Trump championed gun restrictions in a rambling televised appearance, he backpedaled on Monday, offering a gun plan that largely hews to the NRA’s orthodoxy and seemingly scraps his proposal to raise the buying age for some guns.http://huffp.st/SS7RxOe

        The 40 most breathtaking lines from Donald Trump's NRA speech - "They said, 'You know, going to the NRA convention and speaking today, that'll be very controversial. It might not be popular.' You know what I said? 'Bye-bye, got to get on the plane.'"https://cnn.it/2rRBLZv

        And yet our Secretary of Education will continue to accept funding from the NRA. I am a public school educator appalled by this administration.

        You won't allow for GUNS to be included as a topic of discussion in combating school violence but you WILL allow a grant to deal with the damage guns CAUSE? You make me wish I believed in hell.

        What “essential services” is 1 million gonna fix? Is this some kind of joke to you? Your billionaire private christian school education seems to prevent you from seeing that without guns there wouldn’t be gun violence.

        Bets, I can't help but notice that: 1. Other countries have schools 2. Other countries have *way* fewer guns 3. Other countries with schools, but also with way fewer guns, also have fewer mass murders in schools Something "proven" there, maybe? Think about it.

        you could stand outside the school with a slingshot defending them, it would be a more useful output than your current efforts.

        Great. They can use the million $ to buy all the guns within a 50-mile radius of the school and melt them down into pencil sharpeners. #GunReformNow

        So American. “Response to violence” instead of prevention. As a wise grandma once said: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
