.SenatorTester is leading a charge by some Senate Democrats who are pushing back against the Biden administration's interpretation of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which would cut funding for school archery and hunting programs.
Biden's Department of Education cut funding for school archery and hunting programs, which had been earmarked under the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act, a move that has hit a nerve with centrist Democrats, who occupy positions in swing states. Among the biggest critics of the move is Tester, who demanded the decision be reversed in a letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona.
"Republicans and Democrats worked together last summer to pass BSCA, which aims to improve the safety and well-being of American students while protecting law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment rights," he continued."However, it appears that the Department of Education has interpreted this law in a manner that may reduce schools’ ability to offer important and long-established gun training classes.
"Any defunding of schools who offer critical programs like archery and hunting clubs would be a gross misinterpretation of the legislation and yet another example of this administration trying to advance their radical agenda with blatant disregard for the law," he told Fox News on Wednesday.
