A worksheet handed out to students who attend the Northeast Middle School in Bristol, Connecticut, has parents outraged that the school is teaching students that Americans don’t have a Second Amendment right to bear arms.
“The courts have consistently determined that the Second Amendment does not ensure each individual the right to bear arms,” the worksheet states. “The courts have never found a law regulating the private ownership of weapons unconstitutional.
“This means that the rights of this amendment are not extended to the individual citizens of the states,” the worksheet reads. “So a person has no right to complain about a Second Amendment violation by state laws.”
According to the document, the Second Amendment “only provides the right of a state to keep an armed National Guard.”
This is factually incorrect because the Supreme Court has affirmed a citizen's fundamental right to bear arms.
