Schools Teaching Americans Do NOT Have A Right To Bear Arms
From Gateway Pundit:
Connecticut school is teaching students that Americans don’t have a right to bear arms. Did the Liberal Marxist Teachers Unions repeal the second amendment without telling us?
FoxNews reports the following:
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.
“I’m more than a little upset about this,” he told Fox News. “It’s not up to the teacher to determine what the Constitution means.”
Mat Staver, the founder and chairman of the Liberty Counsel, called the lesson propaganda – that is “absolutely false.”
“In fact, the US Supreme Court has affirmed that the Second Amendment ensures the individual the right to bear arms,” Staver told Fox News. “The progressive interpretation of the Second Amendment is that it doesn’t give you the right to bear arms – that it’s a corporate right of the government – but that has been rejected by the Courts.”
Boibeaux’s 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.
Boibeaux called that concept mind-boggling.
It’s not up to the teacher to determine what the Constitution means,” he said. “If you want to learn about the Constitution, recite it word for word.”
Staver said the idea that the Constitution is a living document is another progressive tactic.
“This idea that this school is propagating that the Constitution can simply be changed at the whim of someone – or that the Second Amendment does not protect the individual right to bear arms is absolute propaganda and absolutely false,” Staver said.

I applaud this parent for doing the right thing.
ReplyDeleteAck!
I run into this kind of thing all the time when students come into my homeschool classes after being in public schools and, yes, even some private schools.
ReplyDeletePS: I get the same kind of statements from the parents of the above students.
ReplyDeleteYou mean, the parents are appalled that their children were being taught ideas that are fundamentally opposite to the meaning of the Constitution?

ReplyDeletePasto,
ReplyDeleteSometimes the parents are appalled.
Sometimes they are woefully ignorant as to how subversive the propaganda is.
I have found that many teachers (schools) keep certain classroom activities secret in that students are forbidden to take home a lot of the worksheets; in fact, sometimes the teachers tell the students, "Don't discuss this with your parents."
