White House: Joe Biden Doesn’t Believe In Making Schools More Secure
By: Jordan Boyd
The same president inaugurated under the watchful eye of thousands of National Guard troops and behind the protection of barricades and fences now dismisses the idea of securing schools because it doesn’t fit his gun-grabbing goals.
The White House admitted on Tuesday that President Joe Biden has no interest in “hardening schools” against potential attacks from people like the school shooter in Uvalde, Texas.
“I know there’s been conversation about hardening schools. That is not something that he believes in,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing.
You heard that right. Instead of investing in security resources for the nation’s taxpayer-funded schools, training staff, and even arming teachers to defend themselves against shooters like the 18-year-old gunman who took the lives of 21 people last week, Biden is more focused on passing legislation or issuing executive orders aimed at slowly restricting Americans’ right to own guns. That’s why Democrats have repeatedly rejected legislation designed to fund and codify security overhauls in U.S. public schools.
