GREENVILLE, SC (FOX Carolina) -

Lawmakers in South Carolina will soon discuss whether students across the state should focus extra attention learning about the Second Amendment and right to bear arms.

The bill's sponsors, including Greenville County Rep. Garry R. Smith, said the Second Amendment is the most important one and it needs to be promoted.

Others in the community, like Spartanburg licensed clinical social worker, Barry Keith, are concerned that mandating school curriculum, and overemphasizing guns, could cause confusion for kids.

The Second Amendment Education Act of 2015 would designate a day for school kids to recognize the amendment.

The bill would require public schools to "conduct poster or essay contests" about the second amendment and honor state winners.

It demands students in elementary, middle, and high school, receive Second Amendment lessons "at least three consecutive weeks in one grading period in each academic year," and recommends that the National Rifle Association (NRA) create the curriculum.

In these early stages, Rep. Smith knows the bill will be in for a lot of discussion and changes, but believes the Founding Fathers put the right to bear arms as number two on the Bill of Rights, because it helps protect all the other rights.

Keith said after hearing about other school shootings, he's dealt with children in Spartanburg with PTSD, or some who are scared to go to school.

He's concerned that a bill mandating three weeks of discussion about the second amendment would increase fear in students, especially young ones.

Proposed bill wants to bring 2nd Amendment into the classroom

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCIV) -- An Horry County lawmaker wants to change the script in South Carolina schools and introduce more education specific to Second Amendment rights.

Rep. Alan Clemmons pre-filed a bill in December that would require three weeks of education specific to the Second Amendment.

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.

What Clemmons wants to emphasize is that these curricular changes would be optional to parents and students across the state.

"Silence is not the answer. Education is the answer," he said.

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.

The student was responding to a classroom assignment and was merely expressing his freedom of speech, Clemmons said.

The state representative's rationale doesn't quite make sense to Patrick Hayes, though.

"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."
