Berks County and the Reading Eagle do not want the Constitution taught to our children

June 4, 2005 by Matt Heckman.

Just when you think this county can’t get any worse. I read the opinion piece of the Reading Eagle on Friday, and they are upset that public schools are going to be required to teach, and educate students about the Constitution of the United States. The very document that people paid for with their own blood to ensure that freedom will always live on. The very document that ensures our citizens have control over our government, and not government controlling its citizens. The very same document that ensures the Reading Eagle’s right to freedom of the press. The Reading Eagle you think would be excited that this great document will be taught, and future generations will benefit from this education, and have a better understanding of the Constitution, and the history of our nation. They don’t, because it scares them to death. The biggest threat to Liberalism is not Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Tom Delay, or President Bush, but it’s the Constitution itself that Liberals fear the most. They fear this great document just as much as they fear the Bible. If these Liberal run schools are forced to teach the Constitution, and have their students read it from top to bottom the student bodies of these schools will find a massive conflict of what these teachers are teaching them, and what the Constitution tells them. Here are just a few points of what these children will find out from the Constitution that the Liberals especially in Berks County are scared to death of.

These students will find out that what the Democrats are doing in the U.S. Senate to block the Presidents judicial nominations is unconstitutional.

These students will learn that the judiciary of the United States was never intended to be an unelected, body of agenda driven individuals making law from the bench, but meant to interpret the Constitution.

These students will learn that the Constitution does not mention anywhere about Abortion on Demand being a guaranteed right.

Most of all these students will learn that the Constitution was not written to say what rights its citizens have, but to restrict government from oppressing its citizens. Our Founding Fathers knew that any kind of government is a dangerous animal. Our Constitution exists to tame that dangerous animal, and to prevent it from growing into a monster that can be no longer controlled. Our students in America will learn that this is exactly what has happened today. Liberals are attacking the Lion tamer referring to our Constitution, and the Lion referring to our government has grown into a monster that is out of control. Liberals like the people at the Reading Eagle believe that if we just feed this dangerous animal referring to our government everything will be fine. What you get is a dangerous animal that gets stronger, where Conservatives believe that if we starve this dangerous animal it will begin to shrink in size, and back to a point where it can be tamed, and prevented from doing harm to good people.
The Reading Eagle claims that teaching the Constitution of the United States is “unconstitutional”. These Liberals have shown their true colors, because in their minds the Constitution is unconstitutional. The bottom line is the Reading Eagle has just admitted it is anti-American.
