A seventh grade required reading assignment at a Springfield, Ill middle school actually states that Americans must register their firearms in order to have a Second Amendment right.
From the workbook: “This amendment states that people have the right to certain weapons, providing that they register them and they have not been in prison.
Provided to the Illinois Gun Owners Rights Facebook page by a local parent, the required reading makes several blatantly false statements regarding the right to gun ownership.
“This amendment states that people have the right to certain weapons, providing that they register them and they have not been in prison,” the workbook states.
Along with an open ended statement regarding the right to “certain weapons,” the assignment also excludes mention that Americans have the right to “keep” and bear arms.
The parent, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed the assignment to Storyleak and detailed their child’s initial reaction.
“My son was given a workbook at school that is a compilation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. When they covered the 2nd Amendment, he saw that they were stating that only ‘certain guns’ could be owned and that they had to be ‘registered,’ which he knew was false,” the parent said. “He bought this to my attention as he felt it was wrong to teach these things that aren’t true. I’m extremely proud of my son for his actions.”
“Me and my children are active gun enthusiasts and supporters of the 2nd amendment. I have discussed the 2nd amendment with them several times and explained what it meant and its importance to our country.”
While the parent confronted several school administrators, the workbook is likely to stay in circulation for young students across the state.
“I even told the school officials I talked to that you can’t reword the Constitution to what you think it should be and you should only teach what it is,” the parent said. “We live in a society where children are being taught to fear firearms instead of embracing them and our shooting sports. Heck 50-60 years ago you had police officers coming into schools teaching firearm safety and now we have schools teaching false information and fear. It’s a sad time.”
Unfortunately for young minds across the country, false information regarding the Bill of Rights and Constitution is rampant throughout the public school system.
program them young, Hitler knew it too! Remember the Brown shirts,
Bull$#%&!@*, fire the teacher.
Liberal planning for the future. Confuse the kids with false information, so they won’t know their rights are being violated when their guns are seized at some future date. Welcome to the real purpose of common core. Indoctrinate future generations of Americans to be good Democrats…
sick. just sick.
It’s not the teacher! It’s the system ” government” . They do not belong in schools or at the state level! The main job for them is to make sure we have a strong military. So out of control! Please VOTE and think first!
Wrong!
BULL$#%&!@*.
Well theyre teaching our children lies such as their rights are granteg by government. What a travesty and all those who endorse this bastardization of the constitution are guilty of treason to be sure. The intent of the constitution is quite clear not only in the wording of the second amendment but in that it states INALIENABLE rights meaning unbreachable, unbreakable, untouchable, not by government, not by individuals, not by special interest groups, not in the name of security, not in any way, for any reason period.
That’s bull
THESE DAMN TEACHERS NEED THE DAMN HELL BEAT OUT OF THEM, SORRY BASTARDS!!!
