Department of Education Spends Thousands of Dollars on ... Guns?

According to InfoWars:

Since at least 2001, the U.S. Department of Education has been building a massive arsenal of guns purchased through steep discounts orchestrated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the U.S. Capitol Police.

The Education Department’s Office of the Inspector General somehow found it necessary to spend over $80,000 on Glock pistols and over $17,000 on Remington shotguns in the past seven years for investigations into “fraud, waste or abuse of Department of Education funds.”

Prior to receiving a firearm, Dept. of Education OIG special agents must complete a training course conducted by the Department of Homeland Security.

WTF does the Dept. of Education need with guns?!

Truancy...
Falling asleep in class...
Failing a test...

It seems governmental department over seeing pretty much everything from schools to fishing are armed to the teeth.  

Seems a little out of hand to me.  I don't even think police should have guns, and here we have random bureaucrats being armed as well?
