The White House confirmed Thursday that President Biden is planning to sign legislation that explicitly reverses his own administration’s decision to defund school shooting sports courses nationwide.
A White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Biden supports the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act which ensures elementary and secondary school hunting and archery programs continue to receive federal funds after the Department of Education began withholding funding earlier this year. The spokesperson further pointed to a statement from Stefanie Feldman, the director of the White House’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
“The President supports a legislative solution to ensure ESEA funding can be used for valuable school enrichment programs, such as hunter safety and archery,” Feldman said this week.
