The federal school safety commission set up after the deadly shooting at a Florida high school will not examine the role of guns in school violence, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said Tuesday.
During a hearing on education spending, DeVos was asked whether the commission that she is chairing will look at guns in the context of school safety.
“That is not part of the commission’s charge per se,” DeVos told a Senate subcommittee overseeing education spending. “We are actually studying school safety and how we can ensure our students are safe at school.”
DeVos has said the commission aims to produce a report on best practices by the end of the year, but other than that the department has disclosed little information about the panel. She said Tuesday the panel will examine 27 different issues around school safety. She did not elaborate.
27 different issues but guns are not one of them.
During here confirmation hearing DeVos was asked if her family had donated over 200 million to the Republican party of the years, she replied "that's possible." Only Republican Senators Murkoski & Collins failed to confirm her.
Drain the Swamp huh??
