The right to bear arms could soon be a three-week    mandatory part of your child's schoolwork if one state    legislator has his way.  
    State Representative Alan Clemmons, who represents    district 107, wants a stronger emphasis to be placed on the    Second Amendment in schools across the state. He prefiled the    Second Amendment Education Act ahead of the General Assembly    returning to session this month.  
    "The second amendment applies to every American    citizen," said Clemmons. "It is a personal right to bear arms    for the sake of defending oneself if the need should    arise."  
    That is a constitutional right Clemmons wants    students to study and understand.  
    "The discussion should be a scholarly discussion    about the history of the second amendment, why was it important    to our fathers, why was it so important that it was included in    the bill of rights., and how the second amendment folds into    modern society," Clemmons said of what he thinks should be    implemented in the classroom.  
    The Second Amendment Education Act would require a    portion of South Carolina's mandated study of the U.S.    Constitution in high school be devoted to study of the Second    Amendment. Clemmons advocates for roughly three weeks of study    dedicated to the constitutional right.  
    Rep. Clemmons filed the bill in responsive to Zero    Tolerance policies in place at schools across the state to stop    students from bringing guns on campus. According to Clemmons,    over time those policies have turned into an anti-Second    Amendment shut-down.  
    "That policy in my mind is subjecting the rising    generation to the mindset of the instrument, the firearm, is    evil regardless of the hand that the firearm is in," explained    Clemmons.  
    Another bill prefiled ahead of legislators return    aims at taking children out of the classroom and into the gun    range for a semester-long course on firearm    safety.  
    Under the bill filed by Senator Lee Bright,    students would be given the option to take the course as an    elective.
