Were they taught that the Fourth and Fifth Amendments were designed to protect our person and property from unlawful searches and seizures and guarantee that our property cannot be taken without just compensation? Were students taught that the Constitutional protections are much greater than just the “Miranda Rights” they hear on TV shows? Did school programs inform them of the dangers presented by local governments, unelected bureaucratic boards, agencies, and planning and zoning commissions across the nation to confiscate or devalue private property? Unfortunately, probably not. How many students learned about the significance of the 17th Amendment to the Constitution? Were they informed of the implications on States Rights? Were they taught that the Senators were originally chosen by state legislatures and not by popular vote? Did they learn that this provision in the Constitution was to assure each State had the final say over every law, treaty, cabinet appointment and federal judgeship? Adopting the 17th Amendment eliminated significant powers of the states to balance the power of the federal government. The current activities of the U.S. Senate clearly demonstrate that our Senators are no longer obligated to support the States that elected them and their efforts now support a national political agenda. Apparently this is unimportant when you are being taught to become a global citizen and where the power of the US government will soon become as ineffective as the powers of the states have become.
Why would our educational system be so reluctant to teach our Constitution? Why are they ignoring this Federal statute? Perhaps it is because governments at all levels have adopted the United Nations Agenda 21 Sustainable Development policies which lead to a government-controlled society. These concepts are in direct conflict with our Constitution which designed a government to be controlled by society. Teaching global citizenship is not about empowering the American people but advancing a global government.
It is difficult to understand and embrace the principles of freedom and liberty if they are not taught within our educational systems. If these principles are to be maintained we must put pressure on our local school boards and superintendents of schools to insure that all students learn and understand our Constitution.
