Civics and Constitutional Rights Need to Be Mandatory in American Curriculum

So in the spirit of Orange Is the New Black, California is the new Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Immigration or legal immigration is the new desegregation or integration. California is the new Confederacy acting to subvert the Union. Perhaps California needs to get honest and admit it wants to return to Mexico as a province and cease to exist as a U.S. State.

If President Trump needs to pull an Ike or JFK by sending in federal troops to California to protect American borders, then the President while should also mandate under federal law that American civics be on all curricula. An Executive Order enforced through the Department of Education for civics lessons should make it required curriculum in all schools in the United States to teach American Constitutional history.

On March 14, 2018 students in the Bay Area and other parts of the U.S. decided to march out of their classrooms and rally for gun control. Ironically the act of Civil Disobedience by the children of the left here in California resulted in one Bay Area High School being on lockdown and the NRA had nothing to do with it. There were Federal officers in the downtown San Francisco BART train stations possibly due to the students marching their way to City Hall on San Francisco's very busy Market Street.

Wrap your head around this again: Teenage Students marched in solidarity with Stoneman Douglas High School by staging a walkout from class to engage in a rally in favor of repealing the Second Amendment.

There is civic action and then there is playing truant under the disguise of influencing public policy. The later seems a very likely probablility.

Do these students realize that what they are asking for is essentially a repeal of the American Constitution? By repealing the Second Amendment it would set a legal precedent for all the other amendments and the entire Constitution to be nullified. For the record kids, as you were chanting in a mob "Hey, Hey NRA how many people did you kill today?" the answer was still zero. FAIL!

Do they realize how dangerous this is? Do they know that many countries, such as France, grant no right to free speech. French politician Marine Le Pen tweeted images of ISIS in 2015 and now faces up to three years in prison. Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Front political party, was stripped of her Parliamentary immunity by the French National Assembly. Afterwards a French Judge moved to have Le Pen charged with circulating “violent messages that incite terrorism or seriously harm human dignity."

The tweets displayed images about the kind of brutality in Islamic regimes. Under French law, it is considered a crime to distribute violent images. So French prosecutors investigated Le Pen for inciting terrorism in France.

Do you really want to live in a country without Free Speech? France may have fine cuisine, high fashion, a capital city that is iconic for romance, and cultural richness that is breathtaking, but you tweet raw news footage pictures available to the international press and you end up in jail. Sounds like tyranny and rule by dictator.

The American Revolution and the freedom which Americans enjoy happened because of ordinary citizens bearing arms to revolt against the rule by a monarch. King George was ruler of the British Empire but not through merit. King George was King because of an accident of birth. Queen Elizabeth the 2nd never earned her seat on the throne either.

The repeal of one Amendment opens up a legal precedent for the entire U.S. Constitution to become obsolete. A non-existent second amendment renders modern American citizens no different than subjects to an Imperial Empire whereby the Divine Right of Kings exists instead of Civil Rights. Forget about Liberty and Justice for All in that case.

Don't believe me, ask any Commonwealth country: who is your Head of State? America got rid of King George and no King or Queen has ruled America since. Hence the song, Battle Hymn of the Republic.

The Queen of England is still the ruler of every Commonwealth country. Queen Elizabeth holds the final say in any constitutional reform in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and all former British colonies. She rules beyond England's borders. Commonwealth countries are like grown adults who never left the nest. They are not fully sovereign like the successfully rebellious oldest child, the U.S.A.

The United States is the only former British colony that is not a member of the Commonwealth of Nations because our leaders are elected and the queen is not on our money. The U.S. Mint proves that. Not since 1776.

Why is the United States of America a Republic? Its the freedom on which we stand. A freedom fought and won by early colonists who excercised their Right to Bear Arms against the tyranny of a King. Remember Boston, alot of tea, and a party? It was a protest to a foreign annointed ruler who taxed American colonists to buy the tea they made in America, shipped to Mother England, then sent back to us packaged and overpriced. The British thought that it was totally OK. Before the U.S. Constitution existed , Americans had to put up or party. So we partied in Boston. The Spirit of 1776 was born.

Many of the historical icons of the American Revolution were barely 21 years old when they picked up a Revolutionary rifle and became instrumental in winning the battle for freedom from the Crown.

At 18 years old an American citizen today can join the U.S. military and defend it overseas. If you are old enough to die for your country you are certainly old enough to exercise your constitutional right to bear arms. The Second Amendment is not about a fascination with firearms or a fixation on revolvers. It exists as mechanism to simply make the playing field equal when rallying against tyranny.

America is a Republic that began its self-government as a Sovereign Nation when the British lost to farmers bearing arms . "We the People" aka the Declaration of Independence was America's birth certificate with the American Constitution establishing the foundation of its government. No right to bear arms in the absence of the Second Amendment is an express track to a non-existant America. In that case, America might as well return to its historical birthplace and go home to Mother England.

Speaking of history, California now acting like the reincarnation of the Confederacy may really be a case of a State identity crisis leading up to Civil War in Court.

California was always the glamorous black sheep State. The rest of the Union are American States. California is finally showing that its true colors are not red, white, and blue but red, white, and green. California is behaving more like a resurrected province of Mexico seeking to return into its Madre's womb. Perhaps California wants to convert back to Mexico like an adopted sibling who wants a mother and child reunion to claim its true heritage as political grandchild of King Carlos the 3rd who never answered to King George the 3rd.

For those of us Americans who still love this country and belong to it as its legal citizens, watching the children of the left, this entitled sheltered naive millennial generation, was bearing witness to an insult towards the greatest generations.

The Millennials insulted every generation before it who fought for and defended the Stars and Stripes. These teenagers seem nothing like the baby boomers who were drafted during Vietnam and served their Country. The average age of an American soldier during the Vietnam war was 19. Listen to the song's lyrics in "19" by Paul Hardcastle. Teenage U.S. soldiers near Saigon earned a Purple Heart before their 21st birthday. If they and certain icons of the American Revolution were barely out of their teens when fighting for freedom to defend the Constitution, its a moral imperative for all Americans to uphold the Second Amendment and say no to raising the minimum age to purchase your own protection weapon.

There is no sound argument that justifies raising the minimum age to purchase a registered gun to excercise your Second Amendment Rights in the United States from age 18 to 21.

Perhaps this exercise in truancy disguised as civic action warrants a lesson for privileged entitled Millennials who enjoy the freedoms and liberties that American have because of the sacrifice of those who served and everyone that ever exercised and defended their constitutional rights, by being sent on a semester abroad. Not to glamorous places like Paris, London, Rome, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Johannesburg or Madrid. Rather, send those high schoolers who marched and stepped on the Second Amendment in the process to cities like Entebe, Nairobi, Phnom Penh, Siberia, the former Yugoslavia and Soviet Georgia, Singapore, and any other capital city in nations run by dictators.

Maybe 3 or 4 months or half a year spent living a life where no freedom like that which exists in America is just the lesson needed for these naive millennial pseudo- communist adolescents to appreciate the Second Amendment and every other letter and word in the American Constitution.

The famous song is right. You don't know what you got till it's gone.
