Education Secretary and former Michigan school choice advocate Betsy DeVos suggested she won't stand in the way of local school districts spending federal funds to buy guns to protect themselves and their students.
Posting a letter Friday evening on Twitter that she sent to U.S. Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., DeVos said federal law provides districts "substantial flexibility" in how they use funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and that Congress gave neither her nor the department the authority to decide otherwise.
"Let me be clear: I have no intention of taking any action concerning the purchase of firearms or firearms training for school staff under the ESEA ... Congress did not authorize me or the Department to make those decisions," she said in both the letter and the posting on the department's press secretary's Twitter feed.
