Trump says he will make schools safer

[hanger4]

Figures don't lie, but liars do figure.Yet another source...But, by all means, please hold on dear to your one source, belief perseverance is a terribull thang....

I'll hold on to it because none of your links show the previous years security budget was cut, just the amount of increase requested. Therefore the security budget increased.

Congress cut $296 million from the State Department’s spending request

In Left speak not getting the massive increase one asks for is a cut. Still, a couple of billion for embassy security appears to be lots of money. I wonder what that number includes.

He's probably relying on the states to foot the bill which no doubt means that the poorer states will have to rely on teachers to make the schools safer. Very poor timing on Trumps part.....again.

Why is the safety of local students or anyone the job of the federal government? The feds are to keep the people safe from foreign nations and violence across state lines.

The local schools are responsible. It's on them to do something.

[Captdon]

And Trump cutting millions from these programs is going to make schools safer how?

I'm all ears!

It won't. The feds are not responsible for any local issue. Let the schools take care of their problems.

Not so much.

Trump budget would cut millions in school safety funds: report

So how does that work?

Feds shouldn’t give anything to schools. States issue

[Captdon]

Follow the modus operandi, it's the same when the GOP cut security funds for the embassy, then screamed when Benghazi happened. Wash, rinse, repeat....

Wrong. HRC was asked for more security and said they didn't need it. Read and understand the facts.

Not so much.

Let teachers carry. Or even better yet keep the feds out of education altogether
