The attitude of many uninformed school board politicians never ceases to amaze me. Having served as a committee member, Co-chair and Chaiman of an area FONRA chapter for 21 years, I can attest to the animosity encountered from many educators and school board politicians when offering NRA grant money to fund such programs as the Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program.

onna Corbett, a Democrat on the school board in southern Indiana's New Albany-Floyd County School Corporation, said she never heard about $65,000 that went to a JROTC program at one of the high schools. Corbett said she plans to raise the issue with her board but feels conflicted about it.
"I am not a big NRA fan, but I also realize that ROTC is a good program," she said. "I'm not sure I would be willing to pull it to the detriment of the kids and their programs."
NRA GAVE $7 MILLIONto hundreds of schools.
