Steven Boibeaux, a Connecticut father whose son attends Northeast Middle School in Bristol, Conn., says the school is teaching that Americans do not have a Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, Todd Starnes reported at Fox News Tuesday.

“I am appalled,” Boibeaux said. “It sounds to me like they are trying to indoctrinate our kids.”

According to Boibeaux, his eighth-grade son was given a handout entitled, “The Second Amendment Today,” that says Americans do not have an individual right to gun ownership.

“The courts have consistently determined that the Second Amendment does not ensure each individual the right to bear arms,” the worksheet says. “The courts have never found a law regulating the private ownership of weapons unconstitutional.”

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed,” the The Charters of Freedom says.

Moreover, the Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that the Second Amendment provides for an individual right to own guns that cannot be violated by state and local governments.

“It is clear that the Framers . . . counted the right to keep and bear arms among those fundamental rights necessary to our system of ordered liberty,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote.

But the handout given by the school says otherwise.

“This means that the rights of this amendment are not extended to the individual citizens of the states,” the worksheet says. “So a person has no right to complain about a Second Amendment violation by state laws.”

The handout goes on to say that the amendment “only provides the right of a state to keep an armed National Guard.”

Boibeaux told Fox that he found the sheet while going over his son’s homework assignments.

“I’m more than a little upset about this,” he said. “It’s not up to the teacher to determine what the Constitution means.”

He also said the teacher believes the Constitution is a “living document” meaning “the interpretation changes to meet the needs of the times.”

“The judges and courts of each generation provide the interpretation of the document,” the sheet said.

“Boibeaux said he’s demanding meetings with the principal as well as the board of education,” Starnes wrote.

“I just don’t appreciate this as a parent,” Boibeaux added. “I expect teachers to teach my kids and tell the truth – not what they think their point of view is.”
