According to the form obtained by The Daily Wire, the board aims to create \u201ca plan to keep students and schools safe by aligning curriculum, safety protocols, professional development, legislative priorities, and parent\/guardian resources.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The proposal calls on the state to enact \u201ccomprehensive gun violence prevention legislation,\u201d including universal background checks, a ban on assault-style weapons, and increased funding for gun dealer oversight. It justified the taxpayer-funded educational institution\u2019s lobbying on hot-button social issues by saying it related to \u201cstudent achievement\u201d because \u201cProviding a safe learning environment is essential.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBy advancing this Forum Topic, the Board agrees to the following specific actions: The FCSB supports comprehensive gun violence prevention legislation including, but not limited to: requiring universal background checks, closing the Charleston loophole, disarming domestic abusers, increasing support for violence prevention programs, implementing extreme risk protection orders, prohibit so-called \u2018ghost guns\u2019 and assault-style weapons, addressing police gun violence, increasing timely access to gun violence data, and boosting funding for gun dealer oversight and public health research,\u201d the request reads.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The proposal also includes a \u201cStudents Rights &#038; Responsibilities\u201d form that details an existing Virginia law requiring gun-owning parents to protect minors from easily accessing the guns. Parents would be required to sign the form \u201cacknowledging awareness of these legal obligations\u201d including \u201cthe importance of asking about secure firearm storage in homes that my child visits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-239088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Sample-Form--300x248.png\" alt width=\"600\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/06\/Sample-Form--300x248.png 300w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/06\/Sample-Form--697x576.png 697w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/06\/Sample-Form--768x634.png 768w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/06\/Sample-Form--1536x1269.png 1536w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/06\/Sample-Form-.png 1666w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"  style=\"display:none\"><\/div>\n<p><span>Journalist Stephen Gutowski, the founder of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thereload.com\/about\/\"><span>The Reload<\/span><\/a><span>, told The Daily Wire the letter seemed \u201cvaguely threatening and patronizing,\u201d especially as the school board is actively promoting a slew of gun-control measures. He also noted that parents are aware of the two school board member\u2019s agenda to pass restrictive gun measures, making it more difficult for gun-owning parents to connect with the board.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cCertainly, making sure children don\u2019t have unsupervised access to firearms is a hallmark of responsible gun ownership,\u201d Gutowski said. \u201cBut the school board taking the unusual step of sending a vaguely threatening and patronizing letter to parents would be more likely to sow distrust among gun-owning parents than produce any positive results.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to imagine a worse way to connect with parents who are gun owners than implying they may be breaking the law and advocating for a ban on popular guns they may own,\u201d Gutowski said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The request does not explain what the consequences would be for a child whose parents refuse to sign the form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>School board members Cohen and Frisch did not respond to The Daily Wire\u2019s request for comment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
