What Are We Teaching. Our Students?

Well it should come to no suprise to any of us that our public education is failing us miserably. It is also of no surprise that they fail to teach adequetely what the Constitution really means. Why? Because why would they want to appropriately teach on a document that limits them. so they water down the meaning of the Constitution to dumb-down future generations, that way the government will gain more power through the stupidity it helped create. This is by no menas a new concept. This has been happening in one way or another since the induction of the socialist system into our country in the early part of the last century

Well there is a kid that i take my hat off to. In Aurora, CO there is a 5th grader to commended. At his school, they had a Patriotic Day. One where every student was asked to where red, white, and blue shirts to show their Patriotism. Well Daxx (the 5th grader in question) wore a white shirt that he used red and blue marker to write on it. He wrote " Obama is a terrorists best firend" on his shirt. Now he followed the rules the wore a red, white, and blue shirt. So what is the problem you may ask. He was called into the principal's and was told he had 3 options. He could change shirts, turn it inside out, or be suspended. Well seeing as how Daxx is from a very coservative family, one that believes heavily in the Constution, told the principal he would take suspension.

Now think about that. A fifth grade standing up and taking punishment for something he know he has the RIGHT to. Freedom of Speech. Daxx understands this better than most adults.

Here is what this wise young man had to say about it.

"They're taking away my right of freedom of speech. If i have the right to wear this shirt, I'm going to use it. And if the only way to use it is to get suspended, then i'm going to get suspended".

So i ask What are we teaching our students?

We need to be teaching them in school about the utmost importance of the Constitution. We need to teach what each right means. We need to press on them the importance of these rights. We also need to teach them to stand for their rights. We need to teach them to stand up for the rights of others. We need to teach them that we need to fight to the death for the right of all in this country to have that right.

We need more like Daxx in this country!

Viva Liberty!
