2.0 out of 5 stars As a student using this textbook..., October 2, 2006

By	Tom - See all my reviews

This review is from: We The People (Paperback)

This is the subject I least look forward to doing. The information isn't bad (Although maybe bias, without much to compare it to, all I can say is that it does sometimes dis other governments), but the repeating, slow, and dull way it is presented gives me a headache. I find it very hard to concentrate on the reading, and the questions are always the same idea (Why was person X way better then person Y? Write what YOU think about person X's decision), or just don't make sense (In your own words, describe why Apples are better then Cars.)

1.0 out of 5 stars This book should be banned., July 11, 2008

By	The Widow "The Widow" (Manchester, NH) - See all my reviews

The book you should read that will explain why this book and school curriculum is undesirable is "Textbook Review of WE the People: The Citizen and the Constitution" by Allen Quist.

You can get it here:

Why? It will show you that We the People is a blatant promoter of world government over our own national sovereignty. This is what is being pushed in our schools thanks to Goals 2000, NCLB, IB, etc. and is because the UN (UNESCO) has taken over control of our government and is now controlling the schools. If you cannot rid your schools of this treasonous postmodern nonsense, then you really should remove your children from them....

The purpose of education today is to make the children conform to the totalitarian utopian world government under ONE authority, with no God given rights. This book is worse than leftist propaganda; it's one world government propaganda and promotes Marxism over freedom.

1.0 out of 5 stars Statist propaganda, December 2, 2005

By	Michael J. Vorrasi (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you want to find out how much the Stalinist Left has penetrated American society, this is the book that will show you. It is pure statist disinformation. It ignores individual rights and powers reserved to the States and promotes a purely central government point of view. The second amendment, for example, is dismissed with the innacurate discription of protecting a state militia (oh?... most people can read the words "right of the people" which the Supreme Court has held always means individual rights...) dispite the fact that an exhaustive historical study by the US Justice Department, released in December 2004, concludes that the second amendment undeniably protects an individual right. The anti-individual rights, pro-centralized government world view permeates this revisionist trash.
