An Illinois father claims a workbook that teaches the Second Amendment comes with a requirement to register firearms was handed out to seventh-graders at Grant Middle School in Springfield, including his own son.

An image posted on the Illinois Gun Owners Rights Facebook page shows a worksheet that defines the Second Amendment as the following:


“This amendment states that people have the right to certain weapons, providing that they register them and they have not been in prison. The founding fathers included this amendment to prevent the United States from acting like the British who had tried to take weapons away from the colonists.”

the main thing is what OP posted, not her reading bibliography in middle school. For heaven's sake.

It was an overrated book that can be summed up in one phrase:

the oppressed come to resemble and be oppressors.

The content of the post IS important. It goes along with the movement to NOT teach children cursive:

they will not be able to read original documents about the founding of our country.

In animal Farm the rules of the farm are painted in bright bold letters on the side of the barn. In time they fade, and them sum are crossed out and the animals are worked so hard they forget how to read them anyway.

I read it in 10th grade also at W.F. West in Washington State. The teacher got pissed and thought I was being a smart ass when he asked what country the story was about and I answered "The United States".
