Trump Administration Gives UW $1M To Create Second Amendment Program For Schools
With a $1 million grant from President Donald Trump’s Department of Education, the University of Wyoming’s Firearms Research Center is tasked with creating nonpartisan public school courses on the Second Amendment.

The Cheyenne East High School clay target team practices at a local range in this file photo.

Civics classes across the country could soon include lessons on the Second Amendment created by the University of Wyoming’s Firearms Research Center. “Armed with Knowledge: A Nonpartisan Second Amendment Initiative” will include lessons on the history, legal interpretations and implications of the Second Amendment, UW reports. It’s funded through a roughly $1 million, two-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s American History and Civics Education Program. The program will be designed for secondary-level classes.

When I went to High School we had a class that taught safe and proper shooting skills. The class taught archery, shotgunning skills and rifle skills. In Missouri we have hunter education requirements and this class fully covered them and Missouri Conservation tested the students and issued cards to those who passed. This was a few years before it became a state law requirement so we were ahead of the game so to speak. Yes we had to bring our bows and arrows and our guns to school to take class.

“The original proposal was for a K-12 school and community center. The purpose and scope of the community center evolved through multiple iterations, shifting from occasional use to use multiple times a day and several days a week, as it would serve as a public prayer and events center. During the traffic engineer’s presentation, the center was repeatedly referred to as a “Prayer center.”

“GM Korea’s sales rely heavily on Chevrolet’s Trax Crossover and Trailblazer SUVs. The carmaker sold a total of 43,799 domestically manufactured vehicles in November, but more than 99 percent of the sales came from just those two models, according to data from the carmaker. Only about 2 percent of November’s sales were in Korea, with most vehicles exported to the United States.”

Chairman of NATO’s military committee says NATO is evaluating if it should be ‘proactive instead of reactive’

Russia has provoked NATO countries with drones recently, as well as constant cyberattacks. So NATO is now open to preemptively attacking Russia too. (This isn’t a Ukraine story.) Not sure if this is a big deal or not.
