Surprised they allow that monument to stand, what with the whole "we don't need self-help in Massachusetts" attitude that seems to be prevalent today.
While I understand the geographic connection,Seems wacist.
The reality is that, at the elementary level at least, it ain't gonna happen. My kids' school was 1/4 mile away from the Eames Massacre site.
The Eames Massacre Monument
They could not go to see it, even though it was part of the local history, as they would have to cross two streets.
That said, my two kids were both out of the Gun Safe, and had a standing offer to take any of their friends to the range (with parental approval).
You mean 4H doesn't involve shooting sports around here?
25 years or so when I was on the Hopkinton Sportsmens board, a shop teacher at Keefe Tech regularly brought the school rifle team over for practice (22s). The relationship soured somewhat when the teacher had trouble getting into the range and kicked the door down so his students could get in.No chance in hell that any individual school, school district, or state board of education allows a field trip to a gun range, especially in New England.

If anybody has some good resources of quotes and other information, that would be great. Thanks.
Bring your kids to an Appleseed
They will learn about shooting, safety, American History and American Values.
It also shows a shocking lack of familiarity with an understanding of US vs. Verdugo-Urquidez
Not only would I like to do this, I'd like to host one of these at our club. I am on the board, and would welcome help in making it happen. I would provide a bridge between organizers and the club. I'd work to get club help with manning stations, etc., but would let someone who does this regularly take the lead. How does insurance for this work?

United States v. Verdugo-UrquidezFill us in. Not only am I (also) unfamiliar with this, I've never even heard of it. Just a quick cliff notes version. Thanks.
Given that the MASJC practically ruled that way, is it any wonder that students are taught that? Recall the taser case. MASJC ruled that 2A only protected technology that existed in the late 18th century. One of the only case to get a near instant unanimous smack down from SCOTUS.Evidently the teachers in some High Schools do not grasp the concept of what "the people" means. Saying that the second amendment does not apply to semi automatic handguns is like saying the first does not apply to speech typed on a computer. Neither existined at the time the respective amendments were drafted... I know, I know. I'm preaching to the choir.
Wait till you show her a Form 4473 and look at question 10A and 10B.
Now ask her why she thinks we have firearm registration and what groups the govt. doesn't want to have them..

Why does ATF Form 4473 ask for race and ethnicity?
The purpose for requiring prospective purchasers of firearms to identify their racial and ethnic background is to aid law enforcement in accurately tracing firearms found in crimes and better enable Federal firearms licensees to identify the purchaser during the background check portion of a firearms transaction. To collect this identifying information, ATF was required to follow the race and ethnicity standards and format for administrative forms and records established by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). These standards were first published by OMB in the Federal Register on October 30, 1997, and became effective on January 1, 2003.

I attended a high school in rural Finland as an exchange student and our ... gym teacher ... required us to dive into a flooded quarry.
You're probably right. In contrast, I attended a high school in rural Finland as an exchange student and our gym classes were divided by sex. Our gym teacher took the entire group of us boys to a range to shoot trap and 22 rifles. I don't recall any letters being sent home or waivers being signed beforehand either. The same gym teacher also required us to dive into a flooded quarry.
