A Florida father says he was shocked to find a note in his fourth-grade son's backpack suggesting that his teacher instructed students to write letters on their willingness to give up their constitutional rights.
Aaron Harvey told WOKV.com that his 10-year-old son was told to write a note reading, "I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure," after a civics lesson at the end of last year.
Harvey said he found the note earlier this month and obtained the curriculum guide for the lesson, which he said was geared toward helping students "determine their opinions on which rights they value most and least," the report states.

Everybody knows that there’s a numerical number assigned to the Bill of Rights, and when you reach 66....you run out of rights.....so you have to prioritize.
If a kid just makes this stupid comment in the class...the teacher is forced into saying that there’s no numerical value, and therefore you can’t prioritize on your rights.
A smart kid could tear up the class agenda in today’s atmosphere.
The whacked out hippies from the sixties wanted to destroy the establishment. They couldn’t do it by protesting so they got into gov. and education. They’ll do it tht way.
MOLON LABE.
If you dare.
When kids in Jacksonville can read or do math - or maybe both - then we can talk about ‘teachers’ becoming propaganda pushers for Democrats. Until then, this woman should be reprimanded.
Now would that teacher give up her thirteenth amendment rights? She'll belong to the school, but she'll get three meals and a place to sleep.
Well at least the father didn’t find a banner with the word JESUS written on it, and a big ole footprint on top of that.
Time to call Gov. Scott again about education in Florida. Honestly, he’s up for re-election, call him and tell his aide’s he needs to get a handle on Florida Education.

Have these students even been taught their constitutional rights?
