On Friday, President Biden signed the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act, reversing his Education Department's decision to withhold funds for school hunting classes.
"The President supports a legislative solution to ensure ESEA funding can be used for valuable school enrichment programs, such as hunter safety and archery," Stefanie Feldman, the director of the White House's Office of Gun Violence Prevention, said in a statement last month.

In September, the legislation passed unanimously in the Senate one day after the House approved it in a 424-1 vote. The bill had been championed by both Republican and Democratic lawmakers who argued that the Education Department misinterpreted a 2022 gun control law to restrict students' access to enrichment programs like hunting safety, archery and even culinary classes.
