Workbook teaches kids that Second Amendment includes gun control
dailycaller.com ^ | 3/22/2014 | Robby Soave

A social studies workbook, used in an Illinois public middle school, is generating controversy among gun rights supporters because it claims that the Second Amendment permits only strictly regulated, registered gun ownership.

A screenshot of the workbook was first posted to the Facebook page for Illinois Gun Owners Rights. It provides the following description of the Second Amendment:

If Common Core is NOT stopped Home schooling will get outlawed. It will even effect private schools.

Hollywood Actress: Public Schools Are Brainwashing Kids With ‘Progressive Agenda’
http://blog.heritage.org/2014/03/02/hollywood-actress-public-schools-brainwashing-kids-progressive-agenda/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_term=headline&utm_content=140308&utm_campaign=saturday

“Of course school is the most political, because that’s where the progressive agenda is coming out the strongest and the hardest,” said Sorbo.

Sorbo said she was hesitant to reveal her faith or political beliefs publicly because of possible backlash and negative reaction from Hollywood.

But she could not remain silent on education.

“You people who send your kids to school, you have no idea what the schools are doing to their fresh little brains, in brainwashing them into this progressive, liberal—it’s antithetical to America, the agenda that they’re being indoctrinated with,” Sorbo said.

Common Core is merely icing on a poop cake. The poop cake is that government schooling is single-payer, compulsory-use, and socialist-entitlement schooling. It is currently godless and never offered better than a lukewarm and generic Protestant worldview. Such schools are fundamentally EVIL.

The Marxists love it when conservatives run around like ants whose hill has been kicked over issues like Common Core. Conservatives are in a dither about how the icing on the poop cake is smeared. In the meantime, the Marxists continue to hold the nation's kids in indoctrination centers that are godless. Children in these indoctrination centers risk learning that any voting mob powerful enough to give them tuition-free schooling is powerful enough to give them **lots** of “free” stuff.

To have any hope of saving this nation the government's K-12 indoctrination centers **MUST** be shut down and conservatives must **seriously** find ways to deliver a private and conservative education to all of the nation's children.

The Marxists are laughing at us. They have the kids.

I just did a Google search on the Eagle Forum to see if they are calling for the complete shut down of government K-12 schooling. I found nothing.

Seems to me, with regard to Common Core, the Eagle Forum is calling for a rearrangement of the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Very frustrating when even the Eagle Forum fails to “get it”.

Back in the ‘60’s, my textbook said the 2nd amendment didn’t include individual gun ownership.

Education used to be run by the states and was never a federally-managed institution. It’s only since the department of education was founded in 1979 that schools have taken such a sharp turn for the worst.

Yes, I agree that remove federal control would be an improvement.

Even if government school districts were the size of a city block or suburban subdivision, there would still be irresolvable problems.

Problems:

1) It is impossible to have a religiously, culturally, and politically neutral education. Even if Single-payer and socialist-entitlement school districts ( SS schools) were the size of suburban subdivision, some citizens would be forced ( that means police and court threat) to fund an educational worldview that is abhorrant to them.

2) The children in SS schools ( even if totally controlled by small districts) risk learning that any voting mob powerful enough to give them tuition-free schooling is powerful enough to give them **lots** of “free” stuff. It only took one to three generations of locally controlled SS schooling to produce voter comfortable enough with socialism to give the nation Franklin D. Roosevelt.

3) Also,....SS schooling has **always** been controlled by Progressives. They have always trained the teachers and developed the curriculum. They have always been pushing at the bounderies of society's morals and ethics. Why would that change? It was that way even when school districts were locally controlled in the early 1900s.

Government schooling from its beginnings in the mid-1800s to early 1900s has always been a single-payer, compulsory-use, compulsory-funded socialist entitlement. Locally controlled socialism is still compulsory socialism. It inevitably moves toward greater and greater centralization.

3) The whole explanation of the RKBA is very weak. It protects the right to defend one's home ... AND a whole lot more.

20 years on Death Row, = NO JUSTICE

Behind bars for over 2 decades, and counting, is far more than most murderers get. The average is around 8 years, I think. I'm not sure you can say "NO" justice in that case. You want blood, and understandably so, but if every emotional family member of a victim was granted that wish when and how they demanded it, we'd have to build more execution chambers than Starbucks has stores.

(Sorry to be analytical when you are emotional.)

Justice is what the jury decides. We victims have to live with it. In this case 2 juries handed down the DP. Hierarchical counting, Nikki’s death was the charge, the aggravating charge was her rape.

Hierarchical counting is the government’s fuzzy math for crime. Person is kidnapped, robbed, raped, murdered. ONLY the MURDER counts, rest are flushed down the toilet.

20 yrs on death row, does not equal the deserved justice that was handed down.

To top it off victims have to pay TAXES to imprison the criminals who harmed them.

After 20 yrs you loose the emotional, you just want what was PROMISED! What is deserved!

We are not talking gang bang stuff, this is a child raped and strangled to death.

When justice is not followed through, you send the message to criminals they can get away with it. Same as letting them out early for over crowding.

Well build some prisons in the middle of Death Valley and make sure it is a week’s walk from water. And Stack their butts in it.

There are just some animals you have to remove from society. His death will be painless Nikki’s was not.

I’m not her mom, just her mom’s friend. Nikki was a trusting, loving child.

And you want her killer/rapist to just sit in prison? You are part of the problem of DO GOODERS who ‘feel’ for the criminal more than the victim. Which is why we have glamor slammers, instead of real prisons where inmates worked, served their full time.

When criminals are let out early this is what you get MORE CRIME at a higher rate than before they went to prison.

These prisoners were on probation or parole from a previous crime. 6,800 people would NOT have been murdered. 5,500 would not have been raped. Had justice been fulfilled.

Probation & Parolee’s
https://www.ncjrs.gov/txtfiles/ppvsp91.txt

This is an older study as there are no newer ones, this gives you a big idea of just how many additional early release of criminals to parole and probation cause. n 1991, 45% of State prisoners were persons who, at the time they
committed their offense, were under conditional supervision in the community—either on probation or on parole. Their original crimes amounted to 25,900. They then committed an additional 74,400 new crimes. The NEW crimes FAR out ceded their REPEAT CRIMES. Total 100,300 crimes this is JUST 45% of the parole and probation population.

The NEW crimes FAR out ceded their REPEAT CRIMES. Imagine the # if they counted all the crimes. Instead of Hierarchical counting them. And this study was 100% not 45%.

Based on the offense that brought them to prison, the 162,000 probation violators committed at least 6,400 murders, 7,400 rapes, 10,400 assaults,and 17,000 robberies, while under supervision in the community an average of 17 months.

Based on the offense that brought parolees back to prison, these 156,000 offenders committed at least 6,800 murders, 5,500 rapes, 8,800 assaults, and 22,500 robberies, while under supervision in the community an average of 13 months.

Criminals travel, you could be the next victim, or some one you love!

“They’re falling back on their first amendment right to lie to kids.”


This is why we must teach our children the TRUTH, and live by it. The youth of today cannot recollect a time when it wasn’t like it is in the world today. So they must be taught what the TRUTH is...if we want to help save them from it.
