CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE ENLARGED VERSION

From Free Patriot: 
Students are not being taught what the documents means, or any kind of appreciation for the document. The underlying assumption of the assignment is that the constitution is outdated and needs to be changed. Another underlying assumption is that this can be done by a citizen task force which ignores  the actual procedure for amending the constitution.
The worksheet was handed out to Sixth grade students in a History class in Bryant School District in Arkansas. The assignment required students to select two bill of rights to throw out, and put together persuasive speeches to market the idea.
Lela Spears the child’s mother, was interviewed by Justin King of Digital Media. Mrs. Spears was asked how the  the assignment made her feel about the type of education your child was receiving?
