Biden Administration’s Response to Christian School Shooting: Lack of Acknowledgment
On Monday, a tragic shooting occurred at a Presbyterian Christian school, but the Biden administration’s response has raised eyebrows. Unlike other attacks on religious or ethnic groups, there has been no acknowledgment from any member of the administration that it was a Christian school. Even President Biden’s first public remarks were more focused on ice cream and family than the shooting. He did not mention the Covenant School or any specifics related to the incident.
Biden’s Flippant Response to Targeting of Faithful
When asked whether he agreed with Senator Josh Hawley’s assessment that members of the faithful were targeted by the shooter, Biden responded flippantly, saying “Well, I probably don’t” believe they were targeted before quickly adding that he was joking. This response has led some to question the empathy of the self-proclaimed “Mr. Empathy.”
REPORTER: “Do you believe that Christians were targeted at the Nashville School shooting?”
BIDEN: “I have no idea”
REPORTER: “Josh Hawley believes they were.”
BIDEN: “Well I probably don’t then. *Laughs* I’m joking.”

Lack of Acknowledgment of Christianity
Despite the tragedy occurring at a Christian school, the word “Christian” or “Christians” has not been mentioned in any official capacity by President Biden or his press secretary. The closest acknowledgment came from a press briefing where a reporter with the name “Christian” was called on. This lack of acknowledgment has led some to criticize the administration’s messaging.
Focus on Transgender Community
While there has been a lack of acknowledgment of the Christian school shooting, the administration has decided repeatedly shown support for the transgender community. This includes acknowledging Transgender Day of Visibility and stating that the community is under attack from Republicans. This has led some to question the administration’s priorities; as many question why they stand with a small group of transgender people, yet seem to dismiss Christians following an attack on innocent children.
On Transgender Day of Visibility, we want you to know that we see you just as you are:
Made in the image of God and deserving of dignity, respect, and support.
We'll never stop working to create a world where you won't have to be brave just to be yourself. pic.twitter.com/g5TTZbv1UW

The lack of acknowledgment of the Christian school shooting and the focus on the transgender community has raised questions about the Biden administration’s priorities and messaging. While it is unclear why there has been no mention of the Christian school or Christianity in general, some have come to their own conclusions on the matter. The administration’s focus on the transgender community has led some to criticize their messaging and priorities.
