School Teaching: Americans Don't Have Right To Bear Arms
Fox News ^ | April 9, 2013 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 04/10/2013 8:48:56 AM PDT by opentalk

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.”

Boibeaux said he discovered the worksheet as he was going over his son’s homework assignments.

Now, the liberals are saying the Constitution is “living”.

It hasn't been just recent...that the liberalmarxistsocialistdemocrats have called the United States Constitution a "living" document.............

Been happening for years and years..............

““It is no longer an assignment in that particular school,” she said, noting that it was an “administration decision in the best interest of the district.”

Now fire the people that wrote the assignment, the people who approved of the assignments and the teachers who gave out the assignment.

They are either too stupid to be in their positions or to ideologically linked to the communists that they cannot offer their students a real curriculum.

Student Indoctrination: On 2nd Amendment,we must remain vigilant

.. Of course, we should ask how long this has been going on for and what it will be replaced with, but I don’t think we should expect a response.

More from above link

… Dr. Ellen Solek, the superintendent of schools in Bristol, issued the following statement earlier this afternoon. It was sent via email and not published on the school system’s website. (At least I don’t see it.)

---The assignment given to students at Northeast Middle School has been withdrawn in the best interest of the district. Parents with concerns or questions regarding any assignment are encouraged to contact the school directly.--

sounds like they do not want anymore media attention.

My point is that there has to be somewhere on the timeline between original ratification and “now” where the original amendment process was followed to change it from “fixed” to “living”.

Actually, there’s not, so the concept of accepting a “living” Constitution is entirely invalid.

That is the bottom line.

If we can interpret the Constitution to mean whatever is politically expedient or comfortable for the day, then there's no point in having a Constitution at all.

And the opposite is true -

if you spend your childrens formative years teaching and training them yourself, you have sown seeds that are difficult for the left to uproot.

The communist NEA strikes again.

Isn’t it long past time this Collection of Idiots was disbanded, and the teaching of the nation’s kids given over to the sane?

President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools.

Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy”

Those “demands” would be “be a cog in the wheel and don’t think too much”.

LIE!!!

The Supreme Court of the United States of American has ruled the opposite to all the above lies.
