Wow, really? My daughter just completed reviewing the Bill of Rights in History (8th grade, Texas). The students participated in a written, mock Con-Con. My daughter decided through that process that she would not have ratified the Constitution without the Bill of Rights because the central government would have had too much power.

I was as proud as a peacock.

hahaha - I almost said I should exclude Texas in this since they are very conservative on what they teach the kids. I’m sure there are schools that still adhere to these principals, I just have not seen it in my school system. My last child is now in 9th grade. One is in college and he loves bringing up alternate views to that of the teachers. He gets in some heated discussions and in some instances even gets the teachers and kids to see his point.

I’m very proud of him for speaking his mind.
