He said, “How they get their foot in the door is letting a nice, little actress from Texas talking in a school about the Constitution.”
There is nothing I can say about this statement. If you can not see or understand the problem just looking at it then sadly you are the problem!
“A former board member”
Gee I wonder why he is a FORMER board member.
When reading this, I can not help but think a little of a story I read either here or elsewhere a few years ago in which a junior high school student somewhere in Texas in the 1960s presented a report on a book to his class about the corrupt and nefarious dealings of Lyndon Johnson. Apparently, right after the kid did his report, he was summoned to the principal’s office where he was administered a very strict talking to as to not ever present a book like that again and that his parents were also given the same sort of lecture. Guess things have not changed much over the years on that sort of front down there, eh?
I’m curious to know what they’re teaching your son about the Constitution.
basically the same I learned, going through the amendments, founding documents etc articles of confederation etc...
Without looking, can you tell me why the delegates to the Constitutional Convention made the Constitution’s Article I of Section 8?
Note that the only people that I won’t ask that question are Thomas Jefferson and James Madison hypothetically speaking, and Judge Andrew Napolitano.
Dude, that was over 35 years ago...
One day the Constitution will be declared UN-Constituional. The government really has no use for it anymore and many judges up to the supremos ignore it altogether. I doubt any of them read or understand it anyway.
Yes, they are “indoctrinating” your child about the constitution in the public school.
BUT WHAT are they saying about it? (The 2/3 “slave” definition, the “wrongs” of the Electoral College? The “proper way” for judges to outlaw anything they dislike, or mandate anything they like regardless of the Constitution or the actual laws? The “reason” that the UN should supercede the US constitution and US laws that the UN doesn’t like? )
DO you seriously think that the school, and the teacher hired by the school, is really teaching the proper truth about “those old angry rich white male slave holders’?
bkmk
Oh thats what your asking, as far as I can tell its just the plain ole facts. Now is it detailed?? well it is 9th grade after all...
but if there is some bias there, I havent seen it.
Thanks for replying.
The Constitution’s Article I, Section 8 is a list of Congress’s limited powers, delegated to Congress by the states. Let’s say it’s a little over a page long.
In fact, if you have three minutes, Judge Napolitano will read Section 8 for you.
Judge Andrew Napolitano
Note that Section 8 shows that one of the few powers to decide domestic policy that the states have actually given to Congress is to run the US Mail Service (1.8.7).
In other words, whenever you hear of a federal domestic spending program that is not related to the mail service, then you can bet that the program is unconstitutional, based on stolen state powers, and be right most of the time imo.
A previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court Justices had this to say concerning Congress’s Section 8-limited powers.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Im guessing the last few SCs didnt agree with that interpretation...
She’s still a babe.
No, these powers are delegated by The People. Read the Preamble:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
We all need to recognize that it is the people who can establish government, not government.
Trump gets it. He pointed out this phrase "We the People" to the thugs and tyrants assembled at the UN just yesterday.
Not guilty. No way no how.
How many more American children's lives are we prepared to sacrifice on the altar of Marxist educators?
