States Mandate Gun Safety Education in Schools to Protect Young Students

States like "Tennessee", "Arkansas", and "Utah" now require schools to teach "gun safety" to students, addressing rising concerns about "gun violence" and childrens safety around "firearms".

• "Tennessee", "Arkansas", and "Utah" have instituted laws mandating public schools to educate students on "gun safety", starting from as young as 5 years old this school year.
• Only "Utah" allows parents to opt their children out of "gun safety" lessons, while similar legislation in "Arizona" was recently vetoed, highlighting differing state approaches.
• The introduction of these lessons comes in response to increasing concerns over "gun violence" and aims to provide children with essential knowledge on handling "firearms" safely at home.
