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.

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.

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!

Why did the text book feel the need to “summarize” the Second Amendment? It is after all only one sentence long, how much more succinct do they feel it needs to be?

This ends one of two ways.....either with the death of freedom and America
as it was intended or it ends with the death of the Marxists and the idiots
that worship them. The government, educational system, media and large
parts of the military has been infiltrated, compromised, subverted and
perverted by evil people, people who WILL NOT SURRENDER.

The people in power spent decades organizing and committing the coup.
They aren’t’ going to step down, walk away or give up power.

Either we kill them or they kill and enslave us. There is no third option
now....all the peaceful means have been nullified.

Just got off the phone with Kim Stevenson, Admin to the Superintendent.

1. Board members will not address any speaking on an item that is not part of the official agenda.

2. A community member could not add an item to the agenda.

3. You must sign in at Kim's desk in order to speak. You can speak up to 2 times and for 3 minutes. If a large number of us are attending we can assign a person to be our spokesperson and they may possibly give that person extra time.

The state adopts the textbooks every couple of years. She advised that besides attending next week's board meeting that we also speak with Darrell Muncy, Director of Student Services or speak with someone in the curriculum department.

NEVER bother talking to a school administrator (or an HOA board member, for that matter) - they're both rottener than rotten, and will lie right down to their last rotten breaths.

Save time, energy and money - just file suit.

Reason 216 to immediately remove your children from the government indoctrination centers [schools] and do the schooling on you own. Either by home schooling or enrolling your children in a quality private school.

The public school system is filling your childrens’ heads with mush. Like this bastardized version of the 2nd amendment.

Every kid in AP or any American history class should have, in their textbook, the exact Constitution as written. Why even change the words one bit? It serves to do nothing but prove a certain agenda is being pushed.

Last year, my daughter had a huge exam on Islam. We went through the chapters of her textbook and we talked about things that we disagreed with in the book. She was well prepared for the exam. The strange thing was, she took the exam and aced it, getting the highest grade in her class.
I looked over the test, which was prepared by a testing company, God forbid the teacher make her own exam! My daughter answered the Multiple Choice, T/F, and essay based on the truth, not what the textbook had said! So obviously the test supplied didn’t even agree with the text! No wonder kids aren’t learning! They put crap in the textbook and even when
they indoctrinate the kid with the information, they do lousy on the tests! Hey, but at least they come out indoctrinated, confused, failing students!

My daughter actually brought up to the teacher that some of her answers, including in the essay, disagreed with the text. The teacher “just be happy you did so well”. Insanity! For the kid left to rely on the text, bad grade but what was in the text!

BTW, it’s the same text they just had a problem with people complaining about in Florida. My daughter thought it was funny Florida described it as
a Senior year World History book, while here it was Freshman year book.

I said it shouldn’t be used in any grade, it’s not teaching you much of anything that is true!
