Some years ago, I did a little research: I examined over thirty grade-school and high-school level American history and "government- civics" type textbooks used throughout the Nation.
Of the ones I looked at, ~30% of them did not even mention the Bill of Rights in passing, much less discuss it.~ 45% of them mentioned the Bill of Rights but did not deliniate or explain it at all, although some of them had an image of one of the original documents (which was too small to actually be read)..
Only two of them actually reproduced the complete and exact text of the Bill of Rights. One of them, the oldest I found, published in the early 1960s, got it right, and explained them in a manner most of us would approve.
The other, the newest that I examined, published in the late 1990s also reproduced the Bill of Rights text, then went on to explain what it meant...... from, of course, a very leftist, revisionist historical perspective. For instance, according to the authors, the First Ammendment guaranteed freedom of speech and insured "freedom FROM religion", and that the Second Ammendment was an outdated concept that should be gotten rid of because it was the primary cause of all the violence in the USA.
What's in YOUR children's American history and Government text books?
You asked the only meaningful question.
If one in ten freepers has read even one of their childrens textbooks (skimming does not count) I would be surprised. No I would KNOW they were lying.
Americans do not raise their kids. They let the other kids do it. That's why Asians come here and clean up. They actually control and direct thier children. An abhorent concept to an American.
A rebellious Asian child it simply not tolerated in a majority of Asian societies. Once representative democracy takes hold in Asia ... we will be the third world.
