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.
