The Declaration of Independence coreectly locates the source of rights: "endowed by their Creator."
Without this, there are no rights; and there is not even the possibility of an understanding of the universal nature of human rights, such as sprang from specifically Christian civilization.

Washburn tells EAGnews his daughter attends Fairfield North Elementary in the Butler County, Ohio district.
Among other things, the worksheet claims:
* Rights are special privileges the government gives you.
* Because the government gives us rights, we have the duty to be good citizens.
* Someday you will be given the right to vote.

Of course our government does not grant “rights”. what it does is remove liberties.

This is a case of the stupid teaching the ignorant. Rinse, repeat several times and you will basically have a scene from Idiocracy.

‘’The teacher’s use of the outdated worksheet was s simple, accidental oversight.’
Yeah, right. Like the Nation of Islam handout to the 3d grade class in Tennessee?? Parents, wake up and pay attention to what lies are being taught in our public school system! Education responsibilities should revert back to the States. Period.

As a school board member, you'd think I'd have access to the text books but no-oooo
Parents are / will be the key to exposing the commie agenda
I just found out there's gay/straight alliance club in my high school and I asked if I could sit in (one 1/2 hr morning before school, a month)
Nope ... I don't have the proper "clearances"

Governments cannot grant rights, they can only take them away.

There is a hypertext link to the constitution in the article.
http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html
One of the hypertext links in the article is for edhelper which is sometimes used by homeschoolers.

Also from the article note this:
He researched the lesson and found it was met with similar criticism in 2009 and the author supposedly changed it. But at least one school Fairfield North is clearly still using the old version.

Unbelievable the crap they teach in school.
I remember when my daughter was in 4th grade during the 2010 election, and they taught they kids that “the President’s job is to run the country.”
I know they taught that because the kids made posters about what they had learned, and that statement figured prominently on many of them.

I did a google search of Phyllis Naegeli, and found lots of "lessons" written by this person, but found no information about who she is and what her credentials are.
I'm wondering if she is the "Betty Crocker" of Common Core?

Another "Gruberism".

The teachers use of the outdated worksheet was s simple, accidental oversight. So an apology will do just fine, as it always does for leftists.
Shaneen Allen's misunderstanding that NJ recognized her CC permit from PA was "simple, accidental oversight". Can she apologize instead of spending 3 years in prison, losing her kids and having her life ruined???

The author, Phyllis Naegeli, has produced other lessons, such as one titled Our Living Constitution"... Somehow, I have a feeling that reading "Our Living Constitution" would cause my blood pressure to rise dramatically.
