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.
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.
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.
Yes it it isn’t even a close call - the people who put this together are not accidentally leaving out words. They are treasonous vipers who must be exposed.
Parents: look at the books your kids are given and if you see this sort of crap go to the school board meeting and raise hell. Do not accept an answer of “we will look into it”. Ask who supports it and who is against it. Ask who let this happen? Ask directly, while looking at the board. Tell anyone who is not unequivocally on board, they will be run out of office and shamed publicly.
In May 2010, the State Board of Education developed a new Social Studies curriculum for Texas schools. Some lawmakers say they’re not willing to shell out millions of dollars for books that are this controversial.
The Fordham Institute—a conservative group from Ohio—gave the new Texas social studies standards a “D” grade. They tell us most states have political bias in books from the left, but in Texas, they say it is heavily from the right.
“Political bias— whether it’s from the left or right— has no place in history standards,” says one Fordham Institute representative.
Under the new curriculum, Texas books would call the U.S. a “constitutional republic” rather than a “democratic state.” Also, the students will learn about leading conservative individuals and groups, but will not be required the same for liberal groups. Perhaps the most controversial, the books will not recognize the phrase “separation of church and state” as constitutional.
