Your 9 year old has a better grasp of civics than most adults. Good job.
This is why I hated school. After 9th grade I didn't learn much in school just welding and a bit of math and science. The teachers were mostly lazy and didn't want to teach what really happened in history. They acted like we were idiots, which to be fair most of the class was but I didn't like being treated like that. In 9th grade my history teacher would sometimes literally spend all class making fun of students or we would go to the gym. If we did any work in that class it was an easy worksheet and he would not teach us a damn thing we just had to look stuff up in the book. If they bother to involve the class and actually start teaching we wouldn't have so many idiots. My welding teacher was the opposite of every other teacher, he treated you like a human and would help you out as best as he could.
My nephew loves his red ryder and daisy scoped camo bb shooter... But since the madness began, my sister won't let him shoot it. She has shackled me away from letting him plink in the back yard. I'll respect her wishes, but yeah, she still sucks
You have a SUPER child, sir! That was very well done.
Michael,
While your daughter has done a good thing (and deserves about 1000 rounds of ammo for her 15-22), you yourself deserve one of those T-shirts with "World's Greatest Dad" emblazoned across the front and back.
Well done to all of the Browns.

I received the following report from my 9 year old daughter today after they discussed the 3 branches of government and their functions:
Daughter: Isn't the president supposed to enforce our laws?
Teacher: Yes.
Daughter: Then why is the president making laws about guns?
Teacher: We really don't want to discuss guns, but he is making laws because he thinks it will help keep people safe.
Daughter: But that isn't his job is it?
Teacher: Keeping people safe?
Daughter: No. Making laws.
Teacher: Well, he has the power of executive orders.
Daughter: Isn't that the same as making laws?
Teacher: Somewhat, yes.
Daughter: Isn't that Congress' job?
Teacher: Well, yes.
Daughter: Doesn't the president have to obey the rules too?
Teacher: Of course.
Daughter: Then why doesn't he obey the 2nd amendment?
Teacher: We really don't want to talk about guns here.
Daughter: How did we fight the British in the Revolutionary War?
Teacher: We really need to move on.
Needless to say, Dad was pretty proud.
In fairness to the teacher, she is not a liberal and not anti-gun but I did find the whole issue very interesting from my daughter's point of view and was impressed with her ability to analyze a current legal topic as it applied to her current area of study.
Funny how getting a 15-22 for Christmas will get a child politically inclined.......

From a teacher to you and your daughter -- BRAVO!!
Unfortunately our society and education system has made many teachers a little overly politically correct.
