Flex Your Rights Video Shown in High School Leads to Suspensions for
Teachers

A Flex Your Rights video, Busted,
along with some other materials handed out to students lead to the suspension of two teachers.  I can’t believe this
has happened. If you’ve ever seen Busted you know of its educational
value.  How can teachers, even teachers of state run schools, be
suspended for showing and distributing material that highlights the
constitution along with the bill of rights?

I think the one parent quoted in the story should of watched the
video and read the material.  Maybe then she would have realized how her
child misunderstood its content.  Flex Your Rights doesn’t show people
how to hide your drugs, but rather how to stand up for your rights. 
This parent missed a great opportunity to have a one on one with her
daughter not only about drugs but also several other things like; what
to do when confronted or questioned by police, victimless crimes, self
ownership and personal responsibility.

Instead of using the peaceful, responsible, one on one with her
daughter, solution this woman decided to call armed thugs to get what
she feels is proper education for her child.  Smart move, now not only
will your child not have any knowledge about their rights but neither
will many others.  Brilliant.
