Donald Payne actually said...

"Arming teachers puts our children at greater risk and does nothing to stop active shooters or other forms of school gun violence."

"we encourage the Subcommittee, and all Members of Congress, to focus on providing students with positive supports that maintain safe, healthy, and inclusive schools"

"We encourage you to prioritize prevention and hold up proven evidence-based programs that can help stop tragedies before they happen."

"We must do more to ensure that school violence and shootings are a thing of the past and our kids feel safe when learning."
