Why is it hard to believe it is happening in Texas?

The same people run the public schools in Texas that run them in Kalipornia. They are funded and controlled the same way. Public schools are public schools no matter where they are located.

The terrorist that launched Obama’s career in politics and probably wrote his books once said something like; ‘the engine of revolution is in the schools’.

We need to take back our institutions; schools, the press and govt agencies. This will mean that those that agree with the Constitution must go into those fields.

What I would like to see is townships calling armed people 18 to 45 to muster once every 6 months or so to run through some simple drills for a few hours.

It would be very interesting to see how liberals would react to such a thing especially if it were conducted by the smallest possible elected government unit.

Holy Crap !! They even wrote in the seperation of church and state into the 1st ammendment !!

Calling it a summary dont cut the mustard!

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It might have been a state militia, but the citizens purchased and owned their own guns. The weapons were not issued by the state. A huge difference.

Texas will turn into California soon, as will Florida, etc.

We are heading down the railway fast and there is no stopping now.

This is interesting. Since Texas has such a large population, they tend to have a lot of control over the textbooks used in Texas schools. Do we know if this is something produced in the school district or is it used statewide?

We’ve all heard this lecture before, but I’m going to give it again. As long as the NEA and the political left control our schools, they cease to be institutions of learning and become indoctrination centers in liberal philosophy. If we want education to be about learning and not indoctrination, we have to pay attention and get control of the schools away from the leftists. It’s that simple.

However, if we all shrug our shoulders and say “what can I do? They aren’t going to listen to me” then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. We know that freedom isn’t free, but neither is a free society. When we let the politicians take an inch, the next time they’ll take a yard and the time after that, they’ll give us ObamaCare!!

Each of us has a voice and we have to use it while we still can.

How about we get names, e-mail addresses, and private phone numbers?

Then ruin them. Treasonous sons of bitches.

Not to mention that the 5th Amendment has nothing to do with double jeopardy. The words are not used as such or in any manner of that word formation.

This is a travesty. While you all are at it— look up who the writers are— and the publisher. You need to attack at the board level and the curriculum level. The text is completely inaccurate, and does not SAY what our Constitution says. The interpretation of the Constitution by wishful thinking is NOT the actual Constitution. They need to GET this in their heads.

Good points. The Constitution was written in plain language anyone could understand.

You are right. This is not what the Courts have decided. The militia is, historically, just the men of military age—15-45. There is also the organized militia, which is those men who are trained for war. The Minutemen who stood on Lexington Green brought their own weapons.

Need the company who published the book. That is most important.
Then we call the publisher.
Publisher is the problem, as well the school board who approved it!
