High School AP History Book Rewrites 2nd Amendment

xavierok

Guyer High School (and obviously several others) are complicit in attempting to condition students to interpret the 2nd Amendment in a clearly opposite manner in which it was intended.  The 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th are also misinterpreted as several commenters below pointed out.
This textbook, currently being used by Guyer High School, is attempting to redefine the Second Amendment to impressionable young minds.  Parents, you must speak up and demand action.  Investigate your child's history book ASAP, and post more pictures in the comments below.  Call your school and demand that revisionist history books like this are removed from the school district.

Textbook version: "The people have a right to keep and bear arms in a state militia."
Actual 2nd Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Did you catch the sleight of hand?
A militia is a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies. It's a common man army of citizens, NOT soldiers. The citizens are called up in emergencies to protect the free State.
The 2nd Amendment says that a militia is necessary to protect a free State, so in order to be able to have a militia, the citizens have a natural right to keep and bear arms and the government cannot infringe on that right.
The textbook version implies that we're only allowed to keep and bear arms if we're in a State militia, a clear misrepresentation of the 2nd Amendment.

民兵的法律定義 各州不同
不見得加入國民兵或州民兵部隊 才是民兵
但我也相信 這些左派教科書 不會提起這一點

以本州法律為例
全民皆為民兵 都有權行使第二修正案

All able-bodied citizens of the State and all able-bodied persons of foreign birth, who have declared their
intentions to become citizens of the State, and who are residents therein, shall constitute the militia, subject to
the following exemptions: (1) persons exempted by the laws of the United States; (2) persons exempted by the
laws of Maryland; (3) the members of any regularly organized fire or police department in any city, village or
town; (4) judges and clerks of courts of record, registers of wills and deeds, sheriffs, ministers of the Gospel,
members of religious communities, ecclesiastical students in the various seminaries and schools of divinity,
practicing physicians, superintendents, officers and assistants of hospitals, prisons and jails; all persons actually
employed as teachers in any established school, college or university; lighthouse keepers, conductors and
engineers of railways, seamen actually employed as such; (5) idiots, lunatics, paupers, vagabonds, confirmed
drunkards, persons addicted to the use of narcotic drugs, and persons convicted of infamous crimes; all such
exempted persons, except as enumerated in items (1) and (2) shall be available for military duty in case of war,
insurrection, invasion or imminent danger thereof. Whenever the masculine gender is used in this article, it also
includes the feminine gender, unless otherwise provided by law.

民權是爭取來的，不是天上掉下來的。

爭取到了的民權，還是要花力氣維持。
