The Vindicator (Texas) discusses the conservative Republican politician's latest policy proposal: "[Yesterday] Representative James White filed HB
1142, which provides local schools boards the discretion to add an
elective course offering that would give their high school students the
opportunity to gain an appreciation of the Second Amendment of the
United States Constitution. 'The origins of liberty in our great nation reside in
large part with the idea espoused in the Second Amendment,' said
Representative White. 'As a conservative, I want Texas students to have
the option to learn more about both this critical part of our
Constitution, and the practical knowledge of how to safely operate the
common arms Texans use for hunting and self-defense.'"
The article continues about this state legislative proposal: "HB 1142 would educate students about firearm safety
and training, and hunter’s safety. All instructors would be required to
be a qualified and certified handgun instructor, or a licensed peace
officer employed by a local law enforcement agency. This optional course
would involve students learning proper maintenance, cleaning, and safe
use of common firearms such as: pistols, revolvers, rifles and shotguns.
The bill would also provide for education on the history and importance
of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution."
