Now pay attention, class...

This is mission creep!
The U.S. Department of Education (ED) intends to purchase twenty-seven (27) REMINGTON BRAND MODEL 870 POLICE 12/14P MOD GRWC XS4 KXCS SF. RAMAC #24587 GAUGE: 12 BARREL: 14" - PARKERIZED CHOKE: MODIFIED SIGHTS: GHOST RING REAR WILSON COMBAT; FRONT - XS CONTOUR BEAD SIGHT STOCK: KNOXX REDUCE RECOIL ADJUSTABLE STOCK FORE-END: SPEEDFEED SPORT-SOLID - 14" LOP are designated as the only shotguns authorized for ED based on compatibility with ED existing shotgun inventory, certified armor and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.
I remember, when Carter signed the department of education into existence in 1979, the complaint was that nobody would ever be able to get rid of the damned thing. At the time, that seemed bad enough. I don't recall that the number of SWAT teams it should field was ever openly discussed.

WTHoodles? Why in the name of anything would thye department of education require that? Am I missing something obvious? Are they giving classes, something like old trades classes? Colour me confused.
