anti-gun propaganda being passed out in my niece's school

[Poke78]

The NRA Eddie Eagle program has zero advocacy for or against guns. It is strictly safety. Any advocacy attributed to it is entirely in the minds of people who oppose the NRA on principle. It's like a very anti-police person being against McGruff the crime dog, because he's affiliated with law enforcement.

Agreed - an Eddie the Eagle presentation would fit well due to its neutrality, as would the accompanying literature, even by itself. I still contend the OP ought to get the PE teacher at least slapped on the hand, along with the revocation of his "good guy" status in the OP's mind.

A very high percentage of schools would not welcome the Eddie the Eagle program simply because it is sponsored by the NRA

Exactly. You can't fix stupid.

I'm just glad to hear that Eddie The Eagle found a new job after those stuffy Brits banned him from ski jumping.
Looks like he's landed on his feet. Good job, Eddie.

Like the Houston schools that cancelled Eddie the Eagle after they learned Eddie is sponsored by the NRA.

Just talked to my co-worker today. His kids are Mustang school district. I guess it went down like this: There was a big assembly at their school that was extremely anti-gun. His kids literally came home and demanded he (my co-worker) get rid of all their guns. Had to sit them all down to talk with them to calm them down.

Again, where this comes from:

There really needs to be a massive push from the NRA to counter this and to help educate children on gun safety. We are looking at a decades long program here.

100% agree. The push will have to come from more than the NRA though. Parents and community members will carry much more weight. The stakes are much to high to lose a generation of children to the anti-gun propaganda.

Artie is like the nicest guy ever. Anyone against that man should rethink their life.

And if these people succeed, we have nobody to blame but ourselves. Unfortunate that so much of human history is beset upon us due to lack of vigilance.

The stakes are much to high to lose a generation of children to the anti-gun propaganda.
