There's a program coming back to life in Duval County schools to teach kids about gun safety. It's called the Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program and it's designed to improve safety on school campuses and help minimize threats of school shootings.
But the program is sponsored by the National Rifle Association, and that has one local parent upset.
The parent, who has a third-grader at Hendricks Avenue Elementary School, received a letter sent home from the school allowing parents to opt their children out of the Eddie Eagle program.
That parent was upset, however, because the letter mentions nothing about the NRA.
“In some parts of our country we haven't figured out if we should be teaching evolution,” the parent said. “You can't say 'Christmas' in public school, but you can bring in the NRA without letting us know. That doesn't sound right.”
