Condemning the decision of the Secretary of Education to prohibit the use of funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 for hunter, archery, and other shooting sports education programs in schools and explicitly affirming that school programs that train students in archery, hunting, or other shooting sports are eligible for Federal funding under such Act.

HRES 651 is a non-binding House resolution condemning the Department of Education's decision to restrict funding for school archery and hunting programs under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. It explicitly affirms that such programs - which teach safe firearm handling, environmental stewardship, and focus - are eligible for federal funding under ESEA. The resolution does not alter existing law but formally opposes the funding restriction and supports these educational initiatives. It directly addresses schools participating in archery/hunting programs that currently face eligibility concerns under ESEA.
