An Armed Society...

Instead of a text book that is influenced by the publisher and various others, why not just give every student a copy of this. No spin, no editorializing. Just the actual words of the founding documents as they were originally penned.

To encourage people everywhere to better understand and appreciate the principles of government that are set forth in America’s founding documents, the Cato Institute published this pocket edition of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. With more than three million copies in print, this edition’s influence has been observed far and wide. It has been held up by senators at press conferences and by representatives during floor debate; found in federal judicial chambers across the country; appeared at conferences on constitutionalism in Russia, Iraq, and elsewhere; and sold at U.S. Park Service stores, Restoration Hardware, and book stores around the country.

Book Used By Schools Changes Meaning Of Second Amendment
9 hours ago | Politics, US | Posted by Michael Lotfi September 17, 2013

Photographs recently started circulating of a page from a textbook that students in Denton, Texas are suppose to use for advanced placement examination in US History. The controversy around the book is its summation of the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights....

I'll be waiting for the day when we stop referring to the Bill of Rights and replace that term with the more factually descriptive "Bill of Restrictions." Except for Amendment VI, each one tells the Government what it MAY NOT do.

Maybe that's just me.

The liberals keep telling lies to the young until it becomes the truth in the young minds.

Too many people in the US do not read well enough to understand the language used in the Constitution, or the Declaration of Independence, or the Bill of Rights.
