(WCIV) -- An Horry County lawmaker wants to change the script in South Carolina schools and introduce more education specific to Second Amendment rights. <\/p>\n Rep. Alan Clemmons pre-filed a bill in December that would require three weeks of education specific to the Second Amendment. <\/p>\n Clemmons is not the only one who has ideas to change the state's zero tolerance police on teaching guns in schools. Rep. Lee Bright also has introduced a bill that would offer gun safety and marksmanship as an elective. <\/p>\n What Clemmons wants to emphasize is that these curricular changes would be optional to parents and students across the state. <\/p>\n \"Silence is not the answer. Education is the answer,\" he said. <\/p>\n Clemmons said the idea came to him when he heard about the Summerville High School student arrested and suspended for writing a story about killing a dinosaur. <\/p>\n The student was responding to a classroom assignment and was merely expressing his freedom of speech, Clemmons said. <\/p>\n The state representative's rationale doesn't quite make sense to Patrick Hayes, though. <\/p>\n \"Sounds like he's looking for a First Amendment Day, which would be something else we could discuss -- but again picking out one amendment and giving it a day -- I can't understand the logic behind it.\" <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Visit link: <\/p>\n Lawmaker wants time set aside in schools for Second Amendment lessons<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Lara Rolo lmrolo@sbgtv.com<\/a> COLUMBIA, S.C.
