Dad Furious After Finding This Crayon-Written Paper in Florida 4th-Grader’s Backpack: ‘I Am Willing

‘I Am Willing to Give Up Some of My Constitutional Rights…to Be Safer’

The words are written in crayon, in the haphazard bumpiness of a child's scrawl.

"I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure."

They're the words that Florida father Aaron Harvey was stunned to find his fourth-grade son had written, after a lesson in school about the Constitution. Florida 4th Grader Brings Home Paper That Says, I Am Willing to Give Up Some of My Constitutional Rights in Order to Be Safer...paper

Aaron Harvey's son wrote as part of a school lesson, "I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure." TheBlaze has redacted the child's name.

Harvey's son attends Cedar Hills Elementary in Jacksonville, Fla. Back in January, a local attorney came in to teach the students about the Bill of Rights. But after the attorney left, fourth-grade teacher Cheryl Sabb dictated the sentence to part of the class and had them copy it down, he said.

He who would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will loose both & deserves neither -Benjamin Franklin

Is this the state of propaganda in our public schools? There is much evidence it is.

Apparently this is part of the current push to destroy the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 10th Amendments.

The Toomey-Manchin Kill The Bill of Rights Bill.

That bill is worse than a ban on some specific models or types of guns. It trashes the 4th Amend., the 5th Amend. and the 10th Amend. as well as the 2nd Amend. Look at the precedents it sets regarding the freedom to travel.

If only fetuses could be safe, in the hands of baby-killing leftists. Not a shot fired either.

We shall see.

I think we all have a pretty good idea of what will be necessary to stop this.

Not a job for the squeamish, but it is what it is.

You left out the 1st Amendment. That too.

But they intend to destroy the Constitution totally.

We are nearing a time when tough positions must be taken.

Now, you have to ask yourself - what would Michael Collins do?

I didn't see specific hits on the 1st Amendment in the Manchin-Toomey Treason Bill but I did see the specific gutting of the 4th, 5th, 10th and of course the 2nd.

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty." - Benjamin Franklin

I find it ironic that a black woman wants to give up her rights. Or is she just talking about other people giving up their rights?

Would she accept some restrictions on the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments?

Did not mean specifically on that Bill, but Obozo is trying to do just that daily. The 1st and 2nd Amendments are closely related.

Something doesn't fit. A fourth-grader writing in crayon? That doesn't fit at all! Kindergarten, yes. First grade, yes. Second grade, maybe. But to dictate a sentence and have students write with a crayon? I don't think so. Sounds awfully suspicious.

This is too funny, this type of crap has been going on in the public school system many years, and even in some private schools. In my granddaughters Catholic 11th grade history class they were told by a black teacher the reason the White House is painted white is because of all the white people in America, I thought it was painted that color after the war of 1812 when the Brits set it on fire, but my daughter said it was painted white because the sandstone it’s made of was eroding.

Public school teachers are totalitarian government union goons working overtime to transform America into a godless Marxist state.
