"Welcome to the party, Pal!"

The father of a Connecticut child is furious after discovering that his son’s school is teaching students that Americans don’t have a Second Amendment right to bear arms.
“I am appalled,” said Steven Boibeaux, of Bristol. “It sounds to me like they are trying to indoctrinate our kids.”
Boibeaux’s son is an eighth grader at Northeast Middle School. On Monday his social studies teacher gave students a worksheet titled, ‘The Second Amendment Today.’
“The courts have consistently determined that the Second Amendment does not ensure each individual the right to bear arms,” the worksheet states. “The courts have never found a law regulating the private ownership of weapons unconstitutional.
The worksheet, published by Instructional Fair, goes on to say that the Second Amendment is not incorporated against the states.
“This means that the rights of this amendment are not extended to the individual citizens of the states,” the worksheet reads. “So a person has no right to complain about a Second Amendment violation by state laws.”
According to the document, the Second Amendment “only provides the right of a state to keep an armed National Guard.”
His son’s teacher also told the students that the Constitution is a “living document.” As noted in the worksheet provided to students – that means “the interpretation changes to meet the needs of the times.”
“The judges and courts of each generation provide the interpretation of the document,” the worksheet states.
School officials did not return calls seeking comment.

“I am really starting to fear there is no turning back without an armed conflict of some sort and division of the union.”

Sadly I agree.
Secondly, Scalia and others have already stated that 'rights' are not unlimited. DC vs. Heller.
Education is the U.S. is the indoctrination arm of the Communist Party. Of course, it doesn’t believe in the Constitution or Bill of Rights...or even our freedom.
This is WAY off topic for this thread, but where is Michelle Obama’s wedding ring in that picture???
Maybe she wasn’t joking when she said recently that she was a single mother.
“progressives” are not going to be eliminated.
They are humanists, politically expressing their religion as “progressivism”.
Humanism is the “religion” that Satan offered as an alternative in Gen 3, and it will not be eliminated until he is flung into the Pit forever.
I have to say, I don't think I've ever been more proud of him. I did send a letter back warning her to expect much more of the same since I teach my kids to study both sides of every coin.
Keep it courteous, but let him know how you feel.
Thanks for waking up Mr. Boibeaux. Now maybe you'll really get your stuff together, remove your child from the government indoctrination center and start home schooling.

Ummm....the Supreme Court did. And wasn't that Heller v. DC?
Both of these statements are false. The author of these statements is either ignorant of, or has willfully chosen to conceal the US Supreme Court decision in District of Columbia v. Heller. From this we may conclude that the author is either incompetent to be writing instructional material, or the author is a liar.
Logically, an unlimited right would entail an unlimited responsibility since rights are always connected to responsibilities. I am satisfied that the second amendment does not allow me to buy a tactical nuke or a battle ship or some other weapon of mass destruction. I do think I should be able to be as well armed as the typical infantryman but I’m ahead of the courts on that one.
Some innocuous event, seemingly detached from the larger picture, could turn the cold war hot.

A “living” Constitution is “no” Constitution.
Without a stake in the ground, you’ll be adrift to the whims of the powers that be and the political zeitgeist,
and this is exactly opposite what the founders created and the states ratified.
Now, in order for it to be different today, some amendment had to occur to change from a fixed to a “living” constitution.
Now, teach... where is that amendment?
Having those weapons does not harm anyone, nor should Gov't take away ones rights on the pretext of future harm or potential danger.
Ah, gov’t deciding what the chains placed upon THEM ‘truly’ mean(t).
It is WE THE PEOPLE whom are final arbiters. We allowed them certain powers, WE can take it all back
The Communist Teachers Union is just following the orders of the Commie Obama Regime.
BTW, if the DNC audits B. Hussein, they will find that all of his political stunts are aimed at generating “donations” for Obama’s RETIREMENT SLUSH FUND.
Nah, most of the points quoted in the article are exactly the opposite of reality. The courts have affirmed the right is an individual one, they have incorporated the 2nd amendment against the states, they have struck down prohibitions as unconstitutional, etc.
Why was your 21 year old showing in in his classroom?.......;^)
