It is so sad to see how government school teachers have been getting away with lying to our nation’s children for years about our founding fathers being evil White men, and in particular with regard to our Constitution’s three-fifths clause which they assert made Blacks three-fifths of a person. This propagandist narration of history reflects that which is taught in government operated schools by our progressive domestic enemy crowd.
The truth is, the injustice of slavery was not an injustice inflicted or perpetrated by our Constitution. Quite the contrary! Upon the creation of the United States Constitution, as witnessed by Article 1, Sec. 2, Clause 3, an aversion to slavery was expressed by the founding fathers, and a specific penalty was imposed upon those states having state sponsored slavery! Unfortunately, the constitutional penalty for state-sponsored slavery has been distorted and mischaracterized over the years by progressives who have seized control over our government schools and falsely teach our nation’s children the provision in question made " blacks three-fifths of a person."., and they do so for no other reason but to discredit our Constitution and bring shame to our founding fathers.
But a review of the actual words of Article 1, Sec. 2, clause 3, which progressives continually use as a weapon to discredit our Constitution, reveals slave holding states were penalized by this provision which denied them full representation in Congress in proportion to their actual population size---the population of slaves not being fully counted when apportioning representatives among the states, which diminished the voting strength of slave holding states in Congress!
In addition, our founding fathers provided a specific provision in the Constitution allowing Congress to tax the importation of slaves after the year 1808, which was specifically intended to be used to discourage and bring an end to slavery! But heck, why would our progressive government school teachers want to teach the truth to children when their job is to delude them with propaganda, turn our nation’s young against our federal Constitution and the documented intentions under which it was adopted, in order to impose a vision of government upon these children which turns out to be a federal plantation with children viewed as future tax slaves, there to financially support folks in government who live large by confiscating the bread which business and labor has produced?
In reference to our founding fathers it is also interesting to note that after the Revolutionary War and the people of America gained their independence from foreign domination [the real culprit of slavery on American soil] the people within a number of the states, exercising their newly found freedom, quickly moved to share the blessings of liberty to all by abolishing slavery! For example, the people of Vermont took this immediate action in its 1777 declaration of rights, which declared "no...person born in this country, or brought here over sea, ought to be holden by law to serve any person as a servant, slave, or apprentice". Likewise, the Massachusetts constitution of 1780 declared that "all men are born free and equal" and was used by the court a few years after its adoption to legally forbid any person to be held as a slave. And, in 1787, the Northwest Ordinance stated "there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the said Territory, otherwise than in the punishment of crimes whereof the party shall have been duly convicted." By the year 1788 all the states north of Maryland , except New York and New Jersey, had legislated to extinguish slavery, and by 1804 the remaining two northern states [ N.Y. and N.J.] had put slavery to rest.
Aside from the above historical facts, we now find our progressives have taken their propaganda to a new level, and are using the government school system and a captive defenseless audience to actually engage children in classroom rituals singing praising to and glorifying a president whose actions now border on acts of sedition, and violate the documented intentions and beliefs under which our Constitution was adopted.

America, we have a problem, we have been attacked from within! We are being destroyed from within by a group of DOMESTIC ENEMIES (http://cpc.grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?ContentID=166&ParentID=0&SectionID=4&SectionTree=4&lnk=b&ItemID=164) who have managed to seize political power and whose mission is in fact to bring “change” to America ___ the dismantling of our military defensive power; the allowance of our borders to be overrun by foreign invaders, the diluting of our election process by allowing ineligible persons to vote; the destruction of our manufacturing capabilities; the strangulation of our agricultural industry and ability to produce food under the guise of environmental necessity; the destruction of our nation’s health care delivery system, the looting of both our federal treasury and a mandatory retirement pension fund; the brainwashing of our nation’s children in government operated schools; the trashing of our nation’s traditions and moral values; the creation of an iron fisted control unauthorized by our written Constitution over America’s businesses and industries; the devaluation of our nation’s currency, and, the future enslavement of our children and grand children via unbridled debt and inflation, not to mention an iron fisted government which intends to rule their very lives!
