Actually, I was on my High School Rifle Team in the mid-70s (Class of ’76), so that was only 35 years ago. Anybody know if any other Public Schools still have a Squad?

Yea several Fairfax County, VA high schools have rifle teams. But they don’t really get much publicity obviously. One of the high schools consistently churns out top notch shooters who go onto college with rifle scholarships. They even participate in shooting events in the Olympics, I hear.

Most of the Alaska high schools I’m familiar with have teams.

I’m with “Renormalization.” I like to challenge gun controllers: “If you are horrified by gun accidents, then you should support Eddie Eagle and firearms safety and familiarization training in the schools. If you don’t, then you really don’t care about people getting killed in stupid accidents; you just care about gun control.”
Few are the takers.

I found out in my graduating yearbook that we had a shooting team in high school. We were NOT told about it, and the 3 kids in it were told not to talk about it during normal school hours.
Thats NY for ya…

Exactly.
The few remnant teams left are afraid to recruit, lest the district shut them down.
This needs to be driven at the legislative level, and money for this needs to be protected from administrators who would rather use the cash to fund leftist hobby horses.
My goal is to mainstream shooting again. This requires education to start at a young age. I want the next generation of soccer-moms to be taking their sprogs to a shooting camp.

Public schools taught driving, and all the cars are ugly and have to park themselves. Public schools taught sex, and similar ugliness and self-parking ensued. Don’t even start on civics and economics. See a pattern? Perhaps we should be content to leave shooting where it is, with the smallbore moms. Homeschooling, as it were.
Nevertheless, I sympathize. I really do.

Our society is being devolved into a slave mentality, a big part of which is our government schools promoting the propagnda.
The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave, it being the ultimate means by which freedom was to be preserved.- James Burgh, 18th century English Libertarian writer, Shalhope, The Ideological Origins of the Second Amendment, p.604

comatus: Like it or not, parents in the US expect the local .gov to provide all education needs.
