Teacher told my 14 yr old daughter that the 2nd Amendment was "not really a right"

[crazy]

I wish I had cojones like that when I was your daughters age. Im sure you're very proud of her.

Kinda makes you want to go back to school. Can you imagine the fun you could have
raising your hand and asking questions with no worry of your grades.

OP please give an update on how things are progressing if any. Tnx

i graduated in 92 from a high school in San jose. my sr year econ/.gov teacher was a raging right winger ( it helped that it was an AP class) and most of my friends in our class were correct thinking smart kids.

my junior year US history teacher was a mountain man living history recreator. dude would show up in his buckskins and bring his flintlock to school once a year for display and shoot a blank (powder only). good gawd. could you imagine that today. theyd arrest everyone. now, he was a self admitted old school democrat and in 92 he was almost 60, but he did believe in the 2A and all the others. and he was very fair in respecting all points of view and good at getting kids involved in discussion needless to say, aside from being into history and .gov i got along with these men like peas and carrots.

to the OP - you need to get a national media type involved. having a news crew show up and make fools of these clowns will be fun for them. have your daughter record her 1 on 1 lectures with her i-phone for posterity. in my meeting with the principal and teacher i would make it abuntlty clear there will be unfun times ahead of they hold this against her and unfairly single her out over this..

I'm wondering if this is the same guy who gave the presentation to my school when I was in 4th grade at Fammatre Elementary in San Jose. He finished the presentation by firing off a blank and filling the auditorium with blackpowder smoke and the stench of rotten eggs. It was awesome.

BRAVO! You should be proud of the two of you!

I know a ton of teachers, and every one of them is an extremely anti-gun liberal (my personal experience, not a shot an any teachers out there). It seems most people that want to become teachers are. Most are women, most are liberal. It takes a special person to dedicate so much of themselves to teaching our children for so little. Liberals just fall into that category more often.

Very true, but my missus breaks the cycle on that one. To the OP- wish your kid was in my wife's elementary school class. She would have gotten immediate A's, and they probably would have gone to the range together!

Tuna Quesadilla,

I just opened this thread, yes I know that it has been going on for 6 pages. I am surprised that no one has called you out yet, or maybe they know that you are simply irresponsible in your posts.

Your suggestion that your daughter say that her teacher touched her as a remedy for the teacher teaching something that you disagreed with is at best irresponsible and calls into question your ability to use or own a firearm with the adult sensitivity needed of a responsible adult.

As a teacher, lawyer, gun owner, licensed to carry individual and father your judgement is to be seriously questioned.

Lighten Up Francis...

I've known a lot of teachers & none of them come close to the legal understanding you achieve by long term participation in the gun rights movement.

Text books all say the same thing, that the 2A is for the Nat Guard - houghton mifflin is the problem

[Teacher Sp Ed]

The Constitutional Rights Foundation's pretrial motion in this years Mock Trial Program is a 2A issue. Many high schools in the State will be looking at this issue. For more information see the thread on Mock Trial. I am the teacher and lawyer coaching my high school's team this year.

Thank you for your service in this area! Good to see active intellect working with our kids.

Personally, I'd hate to be a teacher nowadays. Fortunately we have a fair number of smart teachers dedicated to improving the intellect of our kids - and I get an earful from a lot of them about how the average teacher isn't even average (borne out by testing results, btw). And then the teachers have to be indoctrinated by a credentialling program which is less interested in teaching than it is in political correctness. Oh, and I've met a few of those who teach the teachers - I've generally been massively unimpressed.

So when I meet the bright and dedicated ones I'm honestly thrilled and grateful at their dedication and willingness to put up with all the insanities with which they are afflicted.

God Bless You!
