I don't doubt that your congressman may have had good intentions, but I'm very hopeful this doesn't catch on. If your brother's granddaughter isn't learning gun safety at home, then it suits me fine that she's simply afraid of guns and leaves them alone. If your brother wants her to not be afraid of guns, then it should be up to him, not the schools, to teach her how to properly handle a gun.
The point I was trying to make is that the anti-gun propaganda being taught in the schools is all many kids are ever going to hear, when they reach voting age they will run to the polls to vote for any gun grabber that promises to keep them safe from evil guns. You may not agree with teaching gun safety in the government shcools, but I belive it is necessary to counter the anti-gun propaganda in order to preserve RKBA for future generations.
