You might recall that, in the middle East, various "Palestinian" schools teach their children that Jews are pigs or dogs, their textbooks show maps where Israel has been eliminated, etc. It's an effective technique, using bias and lies to ensure that the hatred against Israel and the desire for its destruction, will go on.
Well, that technique is taking root here in the United States. The "Common Core" line of textbooks, which the Fed govt has been pushing to be taught equally to all schoolchildren regardless of the desires of their parents, have been teaching things about the U.S. Constitution that are just flat lies.
I thought the purpose of textbooks, and of schools in general, was to teach our kids things that are true?
I've always heard the rumors of poor education, stories of questionable "facts" - such reports are nothing new. But it's startling to see one right up front.
This is just disgusting. Our schools are no longer educational institutions. Now they are being used as straight propaganda channels.

Common Core Textbooks Teaching Bald Faced Lies About The 2nd Amendment
By Steve Straub On May 19, 2014
The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution reads: “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.”
The Common Core teaching materials in this textbook define the Second Amendment like this:
“This amendment states that people have the right to certain weapons, providing that they register them and they have not been in prison.”
Perhaps I’m wrong but I don’t think the Constitution states that people must “register their guns” or that they are only allowed “certain types of weapons”
These liberal lies are being taught as fact in some of our nations’s public schools and if nothing changes we’ll have an entire generation of people who believe the right to bear arms comes from the government and that the right to bear arms is severely limited.
