		</div><p>President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s choice to run the US education department has suggested teachers and administrators at remote schools could be allowed to carry guns.</p>
<p>Betsy DeVos told senators considering her nomination that the measure might serve to protect children from grizzly bears in remote areas where the dangerous animals could be nearby.</p>
<p>When asked whether guns belong in schools, she said: <i>&#8220;I think that&#8217;s best left to locales and states to decide.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Ms DeVos was testifying before the Senate Health, Education, Labour and Pensions Committee when she cited the example of a rural Wyoming school that she said might benefit from having educators armed with guns.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;I would imagine that there is probably a gun in the school to protect from potential grizzlies,&#8221;</i> she said.</p>
<p>She added: <i>&#8220;My heart bleeds and is broken for those families that have lost any individual due to gun violence.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Defenders of Wildlife, a national conservation organisation, says the bears are found in Alaska, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, with possibly a small number in Washington state.</p>
<p>Ms DeVos is from Michigan, where she has spent more than two decades advocating for charter schools.</p>
<p>Michigan&#8217;s Department of Natural Resources says the black bear is the only species of bear found in the state.</p>
