The Examiner<\/a> is reporting today on one of the lessons included in the sixth-grade<\/a> class assignments of the Common Core curriculum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The assignment made the assumption that the United States<\/a> government has determined that the Bill of Rights<\/a> \u201cis outdated and may not remain in its current form any longer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The children were to assume the persona of \u201cexperts on the Constitution<\/a> and the Bill of Rights\u201d in their aim to ensure that \u201cthe pursuit of happiness<\/a> remains guarded in the 21st century,\u201d despite the fact that the phrase “pursuit of happiness” exists in the Declaration of Independence<\/a>, not the Constitution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is nothing in the lesson that explains how the Constitution is amended, and the mother of the child said that the child did not think the word amended had been used in the lesson. Wouldn’t it be better to teach the children the value of the Bill of Rights, how unique it was for its time, and how unique America is because of the Bill of Rights? If we continue to undermine the respect our children have for America, we will raise a generation that will not understand or work to preserve our freedom.<\/p>\n
