Submitted by RobHino 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. Poster Comment: take a look at the first amendment as well. High School AP History Book Rewrites 2nd Amendment

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? Sleight of hand? No way. this is just plain WRONG! I learned the REAL 2nd Amendment when I was in school. It is above, "Actual 2nd Amendment". You cannot teach the truth if the book is wrong. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
You think that's bad, just wait till you see what they're doing to math under common core. I can't believe California adopted common core. For almost a decade -- before NCLB -- California was headed in the right direction on math. California had a 10 year lead. Now they're pissing it away. "If an angry bigot assumes this bountiful cause of Abolition, and comes to me with his last news from Barbados, why should I not say to him, 'Go love thy infant; love thy wood-chopper: be good-natured and modest; have that grace; and never varnish your hard, uncharitable ambition with this incredible tenderness for black folk a thousand miles off. Thy love afar is spite at home.'" civil war looms... Those text books need to burned.
