The funding, which comes from the Elementary and\u200b Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, is being blocked due to the Department&#8217;s interpretation\u2063 of the Bipartisan Safer\u200d Communities Act (BSCA) \u200b\u2014 a\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-signs-most-expansive-gun-control-bill-in-decades-into-law-following-republican-support\">gun control<\/a> bill that was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texastribune.org\/2022\/06\/23\/senate-john-cornyn-bipartisan-gun-deal\/\">signed into law<\/a> following a tragic shooting \u2063incident in Uvalde, Texas, last year.<\/p>\n<p><h3>Impact on Schools and Students<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p>The decision \u200dto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-confirms-withholding-key-funds-from-schools-that-have-hunting-classes\/\" title=\"Biden Administration holds back crucial funds from schools offering hunting courses.\">withhold federal funds affects thousands<\/a> of schools and potentially millions of students across the country.
