All our school textbooks are written by the federal govt even though the constitution says education is entirely a state matter.
Common Core-approved Textbooks Rewrite Second Amendment
April 5, 2014
In a textbook approved by Common Core for use by students studying for the Advanced Placement (AP) history exam, the Second Amendment is defined this way: "The Second Amendment: The people have the right to keep and bear arms in a state militia."
Another book that received the Common Core stamp of approval informs students that the Second Amendment grantcitizens the right to bear arms as members of a militia of citizen-soldiers.
Finally, there is the description of the Second Amendment published in a book approved by Common Core for use in elementary schools.
Regarding the Second Amendment, the authors of the book state:
This amendment states that people have the right to certain weapons, providing that they register them and they have not been in prison. The founding fathers included this amendment to prevent the United States from acting like the British who had tried to take weapons away from the colonists.
During an interview on Fox News, the superintendent of an Illinois middle school that is using this book, Bob Hill, defended its warped retelling of history: What happens with the right to bear arms in the context of 2014, is the right to bear arms in reality, not as written in the Constitution, but in reality is it in any way abridged and the answer is yes, in some places by the need to register guns or gun owners and so on."
