Unbelievable: Common Core Problem Asks Kids to Choose Two Amendments to Remove From Bill of Rights

IJReview – by Emily Hulsey

A mother in Arkansas has expressed concern over her daughter’s recent Common Core school assignment that asked her to remove and replace two of the first ten amendments of the Constitution. The team assignment stated that the Bill of Rights is “outdated and may not remain in its current form any longer.” Here is a copy of the assignment:

The mother who spoke up said she was particularly troubled by the fact that her daughter’s Sixth Grade History class had received no prior training in civics or how to amend the Constitution, which may lead those children to incorrectly believe that it can be changed by a “special committee” as suggested by the assignment.

“After she brought it home and explained her assignment to me, it made me question exactly what she was being taught. Where I can see a class using critical thinking skills to modernize the words, as to help them better understand the Amendments, giving an assignment to remove two then add two with little explanation as to why is upsetting,” she said.

We know that teaching our children false principles – particularly those pertaining to Americans’ basic rights – is dangerous because it can make them less likely to realize and speak up when those rights are being violated in the future. If the Common Core curriculum promotes some of those false principles (whether purposefully or not), it is time to make some big changes – before it’s too late.

  1. WHOA!. WHOA!,… WHOA!!!!!!

    Wait a second people,… HOW MUCH MORE PROOF DO WE NEED THAT THE AMERICAN GOV’T HAS BEEN OVERTHROWN AND THE COMMIES ARE IN CHARGE???

    How much more time are, “We The People” going to allow them to consolidate their control!

    IT IS ALREADY PASSED TIME TO CHARGE, ARREST, AND CONVICT THE ENTIRE “ENEMY-FORCE-IN-OCCUPATIION’ (fromly called the US Fed Gov’t) For Treason & Sedition!!!!

    All the WE are doing now,.. is ALLOWING them to complete their final stages of preparation,… to massacre,…US,.. THE AMERICANS.

    JD – US Marines – Apparently some people DO need the Enemy-Force-In-Occupation to hang a Big Red Banner across the Capitial building stating, “Under New Management”,.. with the commie hammer and sickle on each side of that phrase.

  2. Lady, if you are truly concerned, you will take this child and any other that you have betrayed and given to the state. You are facilitating the continued destruction of the Bill of Rights.

  3. all obvious treason aside.
    Id take the womans(19th) right to vote and the minorities(15th) right to vote.
    They dont need any special concessions. They should have been allowed to vote as the constitution was originally written.

    21 and 18 cancel each other out so they could go too.

    The sixteenth should be illegal.

    1. actually surprised the common core got the fact that its the ‘bill of rights’ and not the ‘constitution’ correct.
