Bill targets school riflery teams, citing 'gun culture'

But a proposal in New York's legislature would outlaw all high school shooting sports programs in the state — including air rifle teams and archery clubs — on the premise that they feed into a gun and shooting culture that could lead to violence.

The bill's sponsor, Manhattan Democratic Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal, says she introduced her bill after reports that the suspect in the Valentine's Day shooting in Parkland, Florida, Nikolas Cruz, honed his gun skills through a program in the same school where he's accused of killing 17 people.

"Schools should not be supporting the spread of gun culture in society," Rosenthal says. "If parents want their children to have shooting instruction, there are opportunities that have nothing to do with the school."

Part of the culture war, I guess.

Schools should stop Sex Ed then following the same rationale that it leads to sexual assault and rape.

Running with that theme, maybe we should stop teaching civics because it leads to becoming politicians?

Oh wait, they already stopped teaching civics and replaced it with a class about how calling your dog a “she” or “he” was intolerant.
