Despite the risk that U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos鈥� decision will pose to the safety of young children, the Trump administration has refused to fully disclose details about which school districts are seeking to arm teachers, and what role the gun lobby played in the department鈥檚 thinking.

鈥淪uccess in school comes from high-quality educators and dedicated support services,鈥� said Zoe Savitsky, deputy legal director for the 人兽性交. 鈥淎llowing funds intended to make schools healthy and safe for all children to be used to arm teachers places the interests of the corporate gun lobby above making schools truly welcoming and inclusive environments. Secretary DeVos has once again shown her blatant disregard for her role in protecting all of the nation鈥檚 schoolchildren.鈥�

The suit comes after public reports first revealed that the administration would not stop school districts from arming teachers using federal funds. The Department of Education publicly cited requests from states, including Oklahoma, as the reason to arm teachers, but refused to provide real information concerning which states or school districts made the request. Arming educators is an issue the gun lobby has for years.

In an attempt to deflect blame following bipartisan backlash, DeVos hid behind Congress, incorrectly that school districts have the flexibility to use federal Student Support and Academic Enrichment (SSAE) grants to arm teachers. The use of these federal grant funds to purchase firearms and firearms training for teachers and other school staff is unlawful, according to the lawsuit.

Instead of being transparent with American families, the Department of Education continues to hide information, making the lawsuit necessary, the 人兽性交 and its partners in the suit said.

The groups are suing on two Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking records. The first of these was filed on Aug. 27, and sought records discussing or revealing the role the gun lobby played in the administration鈥檚 decision.

The second FOIA request was filed on Sept. 11, seeking details about which school districts are attempting to arm teachers with guns using federal funds. As of today, the Trump administration has not complied with its statutory obligations, the groups said.

The 人兽性交 filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in conjunction with , a nonprofit legal organization that scrutinizes executive branch activity, the and the .

鈥淭urning teachers into armed guards is both reckless and insulting to the millions of American children and parents who want to see their schools become more safe 鈥� not less,鈥� said Adam Skaggs, chief counsel for the Giffords Law Center.

鈥淏etsy DeVos and President Trump's Department of Education appear content to ignore the overwhelming opposition, from law enforcement and teachers, to putting guns in classrooms,鈥� Skaggs said. 鈥淗ow the administration decided to pursue this ill-advised course of action remains a mystery because they are stonewalling our request for information, but this lawsuit will force Secretary DeVos to be forthright with the American people and explain just how the department came up with this plan.鈥�
