The Right of the People to Beg for Permission to Keep and Bear Arms...

...shall not be infringed. [More]

As with so much on the internet, I can't verify this or tie it in to an actual Texas middle school. Still, it's not like the sentiment that government is the bestower of RKBA hasn't been proclaimed from the very highest levels, as commentator Orygunner notes...

Considering how the NEA (government indoctrination) has dumbed down our students and education is no longer allowed in schools, this is no surprise. Heck, we wouldn't want people to understand their rights, now, would we. They might get the idea that government is supposed to be of, by, and for the people. That might lead to public unrest and the subject of the state might start demanding their rights.

I saw this at my kids elementary school in Texas. It didn't remain there because of threats recieved if it did. They also ran it up the socialist pole at my kids middle school. My boys are versed on the Constitution, and they know this hooey for what it is. I can't afford a private school, so I have to teach the truth to them at home. I also teach them other things..........................

This isn't a summary of the Bill of Rights; it's a Revisionist version. How one can perceive the RIGHT to keep and bear arms as the right to ask PERMISSION to have guns is beyond me. And no search without a warrant, which shall not be issued but upon probable cause, now is that the police USUALLY need permission to search? That gives the cops carte blanche to search anyone they please Drunk driver checkpoints, anyone? The Tenth Amendment doesn't even mention the people.

The real world is replete with examples of unconstitutional infringements of our rights. People are kept away from government offices and officials when they protest, Christians are second class citizens (no law...forbidding the free exercise thereof.) all in violation of the
1A, and we all know of the unconstitutional infringements inflicted upon us against the 2A. I could go on with the litany, but you get the picture.

The point of the above is that we can see these as violations of the Bill of Rights, because we have them in their original form. We can compare them to the real world, and call "bullsh!t" when we see it. But this is especially pernicious, because it seeks to change the very meaning of the Bill of Rights, and the children will grow up being subjects of the government, and not citizns of a republic, if we do not counter this right damn now!

Simon says that you forgot to ask "May I?".

Wow. Looks like someone actually defined the Bill of Rights closer to the way these "privileges" are actually viewed by our masters.

If government or anyone else tries to invoke that version on me or mine there will be death aplenty.

So far, my grandkids haven't been subjected to this, as evidenced by the fact that I haven't kicked the shit out of the school board.
