Update: High School AP History Book Rewrites 2nd Amendment

Guyer High School (and obviously several others) are complicit in attempting to condition students to interpret the 2nd Amendment in a clearly opposite manner in which it was intended. The 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th are also misinterpreted as several commenters below pointed out.

This textbook, currently being used by Guyer High School, is attempting to redefine the Second Amendment to impressionable young minds. Parents, you must speak up and demand action. Investigate your child's history book ASAP, and post more pictures in the comments below. Call your school and demand that revisionist history books like this are removed from the school district.

Textbook version: "The people have a right to keep and bear arms in a state militia."

Actual 2nd Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

Did you catch the sleight of hand?

A militia is a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies. It's a common man army of citizens, NOT soldiers. The citizens are called up in emergencies to protect the free State.

The 2nd Amendment says that a militia is necessary to protect a free State, so in order to be able to have a militia, the citizens have a natural right to keep and bear arms and the government cannot infringe on that right.

The textbook version implies that we're only allowed to keep and bear arms if we're in a State militia, a clear misrepresentation of the 2nd Amendment.​

Progressives lie. All the time.

This is an unabashed and shameful editing of the 2nd Amendment. I am quite surprised to see that the high school which has these textbooks for their students is located in Denton, Texas. Texans should know better than this!

Remember, IIRC, Texas's school books are decided by a group in Houston.. A very Liberal area of Texas. Local schools don't buy their own books.

quoting the DailyPaul, now?

 

[Black_Label]

The right wingers need to read what the 1st amendment says in that book, memorize it, and follow it.

 

[Pheonixops]

If that's a legitimate copy of the text book, wow! Are they trying to hide behind putting the bill of rights in everyday English?

 

[daveman]

quoting the DailyPaul, now?

Yes. Paul made it all up. He had that page printed up. There IS no textbook by that name, no school system by that name, no state of Texas.

He made it ALL up.


Or you could just be a moron. That seems much more likely.

 

[daveman]

Yes, it says progressives have the right to lie about the Constitution.

Normal people have the right to call you on your lies.

What's so difficult to understand about the original?

Actual 2nd Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."​

Oh yeah? Another Keyboard Kowboy on the USMB. What did you do? Give a pint at the last blood drive in the parking lot at CVS?

 

[Hoffstra]

haa!!!!

that's funny. Good thing we can expect students to actually READ the Bill of Rights.

When my daughter was in grade school she brought home a textbook for some homework. The chapter was entitled Great Women of America. The first one, I kid you not, was Sally Field.

Nothing surprises me about the public school system. Nothing.

Bahahahaa! Houston is a "very liberal area of Texas"? 'Scuze me but I'm channeling my inner George Carlin here and remembering "jumbo shrimp", "holy war" and "plastic glass" just to name a few.

If you think Houston is liberal then what does that make Midland/Odessa? How about Austin? Is that considered the local Communist outpost?

Your preaching to the choir here. See what I put in bold above; in short if they did that, it's pretty messed up thing to do, and again, if that copy is legitimate, that demonstrates that they are either incompetent or they are trying to use propaganda to indoctrinate their audience. That's my take on it.
