Sen. Patty Murray
|
| Sept. 12, 2018
|
Tweet - "By allowing schools to use federal funds to buy firearms, @BetsyDeVosED is making our schools more dangerous and our students less safe. I'm going to keep fighting this deeply harmful proposal every step of the way."
|
Sen. Patty Murray
|
| Sept. 12, 2018
|
Tweet - "It's not surprising that @BetsyDeVosED would have the gall to try to sneak guns into schools through a program intended to support students and provide academic enrichment opportunities, but I'm going to stand with students, teachers, and parents across the country to fight it."
|
Sen. Patty Murray
|
| Sept. 11, 2018
|
Tweet - "I appreciate @ChrisMurphyCT leading the charge calling for @BetsyDevosED to testify on allowing schools to use federal money to buy guns. This isn't what these funds are meant for & more guns in the classroom will only make students & teachers less safe."
|
Sen. Patty Murray
|
| Aug. 31, 2018
|
Tweet - "This editorial from @EverettHerald hits the nail squarely on the head (Special Character) "There are other solutions to increasing safety that don't turn schools into armed camps. Putting more "good guys with guns' into schools would actually make our children less safe."
|
Sen. Patty Murray
|
| Aug. 31, 2018
|
Tweet - "Using federal funds to arm teachers in our schools isn't what students or parents want, what our teachers want, or what Congress intended. There are better ways to keep our kids safe--period."

Sen. Patty Murray
|
| July 19, 2018

|
Sen. Patty Murray
|
| June 12, 2018
|
Tweet - "With stories from Sante Fe, Texas & Parkland, Florida--to Marysville, in my home state--we should all know by now that there is no school, no family, no community that is exempt from the tragedy of gun violence."

|
Sen. Patty Murray
|
| June 7, 2018
|
Tweet - "Secretary DeVos' "student safety" commission was convened in the wake of the Parkland shooting, but will not study the one thing that all school shootings have in common: guns."
