The Grizzly Bear Attacks remark originated during Betsy DeVos' 2017 Senate confirmation hearing for Secretary of Education. When asked about her stance on firearms in schools, DeVos suggested that some schools, particularly in Wyoming, might need guns to protect against potential grizzlies. The comment instantly went viral, sparking a wave of internet satire, photoshop edits of bears in classrooms, and countless memes mocking the absurdity of the justification. It remains a hallmark of political internet culture, frequently used to highlight bizarre reasoning or out-of-touch policy decisions.
