First, before you read this book, go get the Dave Marsh classic "50 Ways to Fight Censorship and Important Facts about the Censors." It is referenced so many times in this short little book that you will want to have it on hand.Now then.Kathleen Krull is not an advocate for the original interpretation of the Constitution. If you know that going in, then you'll be able to filter out her bias as you read.Even as a "living document" type of writer, this book is not all that it could be. Facts are wrong, often blatantly wrong, and the writing is condescending to middle school readers.First, some examples of obvious bias:-The Constitution is a living document, like silly putty (p 16) also (216)-Banned Books week - my goodness! So much emphasis on this crusade for librarians to feel heroic. Parents exercising discretion in the home is not censorship. (p 63)-Calls pro-2A folks "anti-gun-control" (86)-Repeats a slur against Joe McCarthy that has become gospel truth for the American left (213)Second, some false statements:-There is a "right" to choose abortion in the Constitution? (p 15)-On the contrary, Roosevelt's Four Freedoms do NOT echo the Bill of Rights. (p 19)-Same-sex marriage is not within the domain of the states, (p 195) although that WAS the case at the time this book was published.-On page 184, these "rights" listed are *not* rights: the right to a clean environment, the right to an education, the right to a job, the right to adequate housing, the right to commit suicide... also, the right of students to study foreign languages? (183)-The "people" in the 2A are the same "the people" as in the 1A.
