After School Board Rejects NRA Donation To High School Rifle Team, Community Responds In A HUGE Way

After their school board rejected an NRA grant Monday, a Pennsylvania high school rifle team has already gotten more than enough money — from their local community.

The Stroudsburg Area School board voted 6-2 against accepting the $4,730 the NRA had originally granted the rifle team to replace their 70s-era equipment.

However, several community members and local business owners came together and collected over $6,000 for the team.

“It wouldn’t be acceptable if the football team was using helmets from the 1970s, so as a local community, we didn’t feel it was acceptable for the rifle team to,” said East Stroudsburg businessman Brian Winot, who was reportedly shocked at the school board’s decision.
