2A/EDUCATION/GUNS/TRUMP FAMILY/IVANKA: “White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump on Sunday [2-25-18] did not fully advocate arming educators — but didn’t break with her father, President Donald Trump, saying it’s ‘an idea that needs to be discussed.’
‘Obviously, there would have to be an incredibly high standard for who would be able to bear arms in our school,’ Ivanka Trump said in an interview with NBC News that aired Sunday during her trip to the closing ceremonies at the 2018 Winter Olympics.’ But I think that there is no one solution to creating safety.’
Trump didn’t break from her father though, and continued to say that qualified educators who are capable of carrying guns ‘is not a bad idea.’…
President Donald Trump last week initially suggested teachers should undergo firearm training and be allowed to carry concealed weapons inside schools — a controversial statement in which several members of his party have broken with, such as Sen. Marco Rubio and Florida Gov. Rick Scott.”
