I have a neat little scenerio sheet that goes along with the Bill of rights to explain each of the first 10 amendments and helps the kids know their rights.



I started out with

On Sept 17, 1787 a group of COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS set out to strengthen the Articles of Confederation ect..........

1. ugh

Serioulsy. I understand why you did it but injecting your personal political potshots into what you are teaching kids is pretty messed up. As a parent I'd be pretty pissed if my kid came home telling me that a group of community organizers worked to create the US constitution. Madison was a member of the Virginia State Legislature, not a community organizer.

3. oh get off it. I called them our forefathers and the framers and all that jazz

but I opened with that as that is what they were!!!!!!!!!!!

4. jazz

is nice but they were not community organizers. To call them that is pretty disrespectful to their commitment to this country and the individual states before that.

5. sorry you are so worked up. Maybe you can run along
