Misfiring on the Second Amendment in America's Textbooks.
Miller, Linda Karen
Journal of the Middle States Council for the Social Studies, v13 p19-29 1991-92
Reports on a study of the treatment of the Second Amendment in 24 secondary-level U.S. history textbooks and 8 U.S. government textbooks. Discusses inadequate and inaccurate interpretations and calls for a portrayal of the Second Amendment that reflects what the founding fathers wanted and what the courts have decided. (CFR)
