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.
More brainwashing by the sick Libtards.
Yeah they are rewriting it, and kids in a few years will be brainwashed into believing it’s the norm,, unless we DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
those parents need to drag the schoolboard into a meeting and explain why they aren’t going to have a job anymore.oooppss I forgot this is the same district that voted Obama to the state senate.
brain washing.
Mike Martin,if u are serious I guess u think they should have a license plate attached to them to.

This pisses me off more than anything. I went to serve this ungrateful nation, but was blatantly forced out from something totally out of my control, when I’ve been trying to become a voice from the inside, now cant thanks to those who let these imposters in, now expect others to provide everyone with Freedom yet wont get off their facebook asses to actually do something. I did my time now it’s the Opeoples turn. Im spent. YOU DID IT YOURSELVES. Made the bed?? SLEEP IN IT. Problem is people like me who actually did something are suffering and committing suicide. Thank You America!! Keep bringing in new laws and not enforcing the Original Ones. And when you fire someone from office because they violated the Constitution, YOU DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO DO ANYTHING!!! You make these asshats into professors and teachers, so Guess what?, This is what you get!!
They want to change trhe children minds about freedom.
Uh no it don’t
Bull$#%&!@* but they have to brainwash them while their young!
