“Amazon alone has truckloads. Too many to buy them all. I’ll start with the two I bought and see what they say.”
And then you couldn’t find a link to even one textbook that might have been used in a Civics Class during the time a middle aged Freeper went to school, could you? “Truckloads”? “Too many to buy them all”? Not one, not even one link to a book relevant to our discussion.
I guess it was your tag team buddy Vickery that said, “There’s a simple explanation for why they can’t do that. The Obama Administration clearly destroyed all the incriminating civics textbooks more than fifty years old. And then they used their time machine to go back and change the definition of Natural Born Citizen in all civics curriculums for all Americans who are younger than fifty.”
Well...
Perhaps the term “truckloads” was inaccurate. Regardless, it remains true that Amazon had too many for me to buy them all, so I settled on two for my library.
I posted a few links for you because you couldn’t seem to find any on your own. It just so happened that the ones I picked out ran from the late 1800’s to the 40’s. I disagree that this is a problem, especially since one of those textbooks (Advanced Civics; The Spirit, the Form, and the Functions of the American Government) is still in print, and I assume in use, today. I bought the 19-0-something edition because that one struck my fancy.
Why would textbooks from the 1800’s through the 40’s be less valid anyway?
Now, back to the question...
It is entirely possible that some folks were told in school that an NBC required two citizen parents. Just as some were told that the 2nd Amendment only applied to State militias and the 1st amendment was all about the separation of church and state. Or that ‘Separate but equal’ was just dandy. They may have even had a civics text that said so.
But as I stated in my post that set this off:
“If this were actually the case, it should then be a relatively simple matter to produce a civics textbook from the era with this information.
Yet I understand that no one has been able to do this.”
I stand by that statement.
