Dad furious over son's schoolwork: āI am willing to give up constitutional rights to be saferā
Imagine finding schoolwork in your fourth-graderās backpack that had your child writing, āI am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure.ā
And now imagine being told by the school your fourth-grader wrote that elaborate sentence āon his own free will.ā
Do you buy that for one second? I certainly do not.
And neither does Florida father Aaron Harvey.
According to Harveyās son, and confirmed by other children in the class, the teacher Cheryl Sabb had the children write that sentence as she dictated it after a lesson on the Constitution back in January.
The Blaze reported Friday that Ms. Sabb had a Jacksonville area attorney visit the students to give a lesson on the Bill of Rights. After he left, Sabb had the children write the sentence on a piece of paper that Harvey just recently found in his sonās backpack.

Harvey, a military veteran, turned to Glenn Beckās The Blaze with the story because he expected he wouldnāt have received a āstraightforward answer if he asked the school directly.ā
And as an 11:30 am update on The Blaze reported, Harvey was absolutely correct:
Harvey told TheBlaze he received a call from the school Friday morning that featured the principal, guidance counselor and Sabb. He was told the sentence came during the lesson with the lawyer, that Sabb had nothing to do with it, and that Harveyās son āwrote it on his own free will.ā
Harvey said he had spoken to a girl in the class who specifically said Sabb handpicked students to write the sentence.
āAll the children are pointing at the teacher,ā Harvey said Friday. āThey [the school] told me that my son wrote that on his own free will ā thereās no way he knew how to write that on his own free will. He likes to use some big words to flourish ā [but] if he was going to put together a sentence that political Iām sure it would be more jumbled than a nice sentence like that.ā
According to its original report on Friday, the school districtās spokeswoman Kandra Albury told The Blaze she and the principal of Cedar Hills Elementary were āchecking intoā the matter. Albury admitted the principal had received a previous complaint from a parent after the January lesson.
āI believe in our Constitution,ā Harvey told The Blaze. āI am a veteran, I served for six-and-a-half years proudly and I served to protect our rights. Now whenever I have someone coming in and trying to pollute my childās mind with biased opinionsā¦thereās no education in that.ā
