The words are written in crayon, in the haphazard bumpiness of a child’s scrawl.
“I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure.”
They’re the words that Florida father Aaron Harvey was stunned to find his fourth-grade son had written, after a lesson in school about the Constitution.

Harvey’s son attends Cedar Hills Elementary in Jacksonville, Fla. Back in January, a local attorney came in to teach the students about the Bill of Rights. But after the attorney left, fourth-grade teacher Cheryl Sabb dictated the sentence to part of the class and had them copy it down, he said.

They should fire the teacher as an example to the rest.

This is happening all over the place. Guess nobody is being taught quotes by Jefferson and Franklin anymore.

This leftist indoctrination has trickled down from the college campuses. Its everywhere now. Only way to avoid it is to either pick your school and curriculum very carefully or else home school.

They're going after home schooling to make sure you are indoctrinated properly now.

Things like this make me wish I had kids right now so I could dress them in pro-2a shirts and send them off to school.

Then they get suspended for "dress code violations".

They would get suspended or expelled.

Last month I took one daughter to Washington DC for spring break. One day we were at the National Art Museum. I came out of the rest room, waiting in the rotunda for my daughter, and this lady comes up, wearing and Obama shirt, and says "Your shirt scares me."

My shirt was a long sleeve denim with the 2012 Quigley Buffalo Rifle Shoot and picture of a guy holding a Sharps rifle.

I asked her why my shirt scared her and she replied "Because it shows a gun." I asked her if she was afraid that it would start shooting buttons? I then told her that a gun is nothing but a tool and it is up to the person operating it as to what purpose it will be used. I told her that more people are killed by hammers each year than by guns and that more babies are aborted each year by doctors than by all gun deaths combined. She still didn't think that a picture of a gun should be allowed in public.

Morons are everywhere.

As much as I like to say I wouldn't care, I'm sure once I had a kid, I'd feel different. However, that doesn't mean I don't have the ability to personally drop him off every day where pro-2a gear. I just hate that we're being forced into the dark corners because someone might be offended or scared.
