Jill Biden gave her most blunt remarks yet on schools and the dangers students face when she took a swipe at Republicans for trying to divide parents and teachers over education and said she worries her classroom could be a victim of a mass shooting.
Speaking to the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) 125th Anniversary Convention on Friday, the first lady waded into the education debate, which Republicans have turned into a political issue heading into the midterm elections.
