Connecticut to students: There's no 2nd amendment!

Connecticut Middle School Tells Students there is no Right to Bear Arms, No 2nd Amendment Rights for Americans - Liberty News

Wow. I would be furious as well if my child went to that school. That is epitome of someone pushing their own views and not the facts.

Of course nothing will come of it. The school board will brush it as far under the rug as possible in hopes that it all blows over, untill their next attempt. The people of that district need to serious reconcider whom they are voting for.

My daughter's Middle School teacher tried to pull something similar. She was basically shouted down by a majority of the students whose (Hoosier) parents had taken the liberty of educating their children on Constitutional issues. She was only able to get one student to agree with her anti-gun position and he was not able to bring any facts to bear, only emotion and "feeling". My daughter brought the Federalist Papers. Was funny really.

Just the mental image of a 14 year old girl reading from Federalist No. 46 in class makes me smile.

Ok I am way confused, so the teachers of today was not taught during their school years that there was a 2A and what it stood for? This kinda stuff only leads me to believe the end is near.

If the 2A can be infringed by the states, and the 2A only pertains to the state, then why did the founders write the 2A? That is just the dumbest thing I've ever heard, but it is consistent with the liberal interpretations of the 2A. Completely ignores SCOTUS rulings affirming 2A individual rights. of course, they think that the conservative judges like Alito are just wrong because they are conservative. The attacks on our constitutional rights will never cease, and the founders knew that.

She borrowed my hardcover version at first but now has all of the founding documents on her iPad. Too bad she is going into Vet medicine instead of Law really.

Her presentation was full of quotes from Washington, Jefferson, Mason, Lee and others. It was truly a thing of beauty. I posted the outline in another thread. I am very proud of her.

No, it is not.

Far too many lawyers in politics.

 

[drillsgt]

It's probably not entirely untrue, in Connecticut there isn't much of a 2A left.

The American educational system is in major need of purging. Media also.

I would like to read this outline/paper

One teacher in one classroom hardly constitutes "Connecticut".

 

[cosermann]

What about Article 1, Section 15 of the Constitution of the State of Connecticut? Did they repeal that too?

"Every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state." [1]

As I posted in mrjarrell's thread, the worksheet in question came from The Bill Of Rights In Today's World, published in 2003, so it was pre-Heller. Not that this was correct at that point either but it highlights a problem with schools not being able to keep current.

Flew into CT this morning and picked up the Hartford paper. The opinion page was lit up with both sides of the debate on gun control. I was surprised that the pro 2A letters out numbered the gun grabbers almost 2 to 1. The best one was a guy that lives here in the state and said that CT needed to change their license plates from the constitution state to the regulation state.

 

[cobber]

No, it is not.

Far too many lawyers in politics.

Far too many lawyers in law?

 

[Foxxwoof]

That's right, keep teaching them this drivel and they won't even blink when you take away their Constitutional rights.

what you want to bet some seats are going to open up soon in CT

I think it's safe to say that we here at INGO are also very proud of her. I'll find that outline.

The worksheet, published by Instructional Fair, goes on to say that the Second Amendment is not incorporated against the states.

I read the article with my wife last night, and she became disheartened. She's a teacher and uses quite a lot of material from the publisher Instructional Fair. Now she is going to use what is left of this school year to find new material from a new source that doesn't publish such moronic trash. Unfortunately, I don't think she will have much luck in finding a replacement source that doesn't have the same views. The Public education system is full of progressive liberals and it's eating away at American values at an outstanding pace!
