Slippery Slope 2 - Rewriting History on 2nd Amendment

History is changing before our eyes.  And in many cases it is for the cause of progressivism and secularism and against religion and classical social morals.

Here is an example of how to cheat children out of their heritage, as sent to me by a friend:

--------

The propaganda press really hopes to secure itself from harm ..... However, he who gives up a little freedom for a little security soon has neither.

"An AP (advanced placement) history textbook has rewritten the Second Amendment. 

"Here’s the Constitution’s wording: “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.” 

"Here’s the AP history textbook’s reworking of the text:  “Second Amendment: The people have a right to keep and bear arms in a state militia” 

"The revision interprets the Second Amendment in a way that concludes that the only way it’s constitutional to “keep and bear arms” is for a person to be part of a “state militia.” 

United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination gets it backwards as the following article points out: “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."
----------

Note also, looking at the picture of the textbook page on the link above, you can see that the 1st Amendment has been paraphrased also, to the detriment of its original meaning.
