Middle School Workbook Reportedly Includes What Could Be the Most Outrageous Definition of the Second Amendment Yethttp://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...geous-definition-of-the-second-amendment-yet/

An Illinois father claims a workbook that teaches the Second Amendment comes with a requirement to register firearms was handed out to seventh-graders at Grant Middle School in Springfield, including his own son.
An image posted on the Illinois Gun Owners Rights Facebook page shows a worksheet that defines the Second Amendment as the following:

“This amendment states that people have the right to certain weapons, providing that they register them and they have not been in prison. The founding fathers included this amendment to prevent the United States from acting like the British who had tried to take weapons away from the colonists.”

Do you really expect the writers of children's schoolbooks to know what they are writing about? At least its a little more up to date than all the books back in the 60's that called the Second Amendment an obsolete remnant of the days when America had a militia.

Methinks the OP is pointing out the fact that our children/grandchildren are being taught blatant falsehoods re: our 2nd Amendment Rights...

IMHO, This is somewhat more sinister than simply not knowing "what they are writing about"...

It is not only children.

I have yet to hear anybody who graduated from the University of Chicago Law School who has asked for their money back from the course that Barack Obama taught them on Constitutional Law.

If he practices ANYTHING like what he preached in his classes, those budding lawyers were taught a whole crapload of....well....crap!

Look at the ABA for their position.
