Such instruction shall be integrated into an existing course of study, and the purpose of such instruction shall be to promote the protection and safety of children. Furthermore, such instruction shall adopt or be based on the Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program, an accident prevention program developed by the National Rifle Association, or a substantially similar program, such as the Louisiana Law Enforcement for Gun Safety program, designed to promote firearm accident prevention and safety. Such instruction shall not include the expression of value judgments about the use of firearms by teachers, school personnel, or any other instructors. The school board shall determine the timing and duration of such instruction.
