A group of students in Arkansas were given a Common Core assignment to remove and replace two of the first ten amendments of the U.S. Constitution. The assignment actually said that the Bill of Rights is “outdated and may not remain in its current form any longer.”
The sixth grade history class had been given no prior training in civics, amending the constitution. The children’s assignment would give the children a low appreciation for the founding U.S. document.
One parent described the assignment as “upsetting,” because it did not help the children understand the meaning and importance of the U.S. founding document, but instead treated it as a document that can be changed at will. It also makes them less likely to recognize when their rights are being violated and more vulnerable to encroachments on their rights.
The new Common Core curriculum in the United States for children is apparently aiming to undermining support for the U.S. Constitution in future generations.
“When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and Republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan, and that the end is near.” Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 451
