Obama administration Education Secretary Arne Duncan called Friday for pulling students out of school until gun laws change, and Monday, he doubled down in an MSNBC interview.
In light of the school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, Duncan argued that America must "think radically different than we ever have" on gun control. He said that only increased political pressure can create the necessary breakthrough to make schools safe from shooters.
"As adults, we're failing to keep our kids safe. We have to create a level of tension, honestly, that will help us break through politically," he said.
Duncan said teenagers are leading the charge to finally stand up to lawmakers and bring about the widespread public desire for new gun control laws.
"There is not a lack of public will; there is a lack of political leadership. The politicians are way behind where the public is," he said. "The public's now speaking up, led by our teens, saying ‘We're not going to stand by.’ People are finding their voice and they are going to vote."

Shouldn’t she return to skool to learn it’s fewer guns?
She/he....who can tell these days, much less assign a label.....
As Tucker said tonight to the California Democratic Congressman “You’re surrounded by bodyguards paid for by taxpayers. Why can’t my wife and I have the same weapons to protect ourselves?”
Pull them out of gun free zones?
Less Leftism is the answer.
Democrats accidentally endorse home-schooling and condemn public schools as dangerous.
Duncan ran the Chicago Public Schools.
Graduation rate is under 60%.
A full third of those who do can’t read their diplomas.

"The answer is not more guns; it is less fewer guns,"
Only in Obamaland can the Education Secretary not know basic grammar.
With some exceptions , being an “educator” means being substandard.
Proving once again that Democrats put their politics ahead of children.
let’s take his advice, it’s the end of the school year for most of the country. Close schools up, disband NEA, severance for all teachers. Give vouchers for next years classes and local school boards control of school buildings, security and restaffing. Sounds like a plan.
The answer is to end government run schools.
Gee, I don’t remember anyone asking that jacka@@ his opinion on anything. Nor caring about any response he might give.
Pull kids out until the Joe biden “Safe Schools Act” (aka Sitting Duck Act) is repealed so that school staff and parents with CCW can protect our kids!
Parents should be given vouchers and they can pick their children school and the teacher can eat cake. This shooting stuff would be reduced and schools that don’t protect their students will go out of business.
Arne, you stupid libtard fool. But then I repeat myself.
Why aren’t school children massacred in urban schools in Deetroit and Chicongo? Because to get in they have to pass through a metal detector and have their bags xrayed at a single access point staffed by armed guards. Why should those schools be safer than those in the suburbs? That’s racist!
err teachers union
