No teacher ever told me that the signers of the Declaration where basically signing their death warrant, treason against the king.

Good for you Jim taking on the resposibility of teaching them our history.
They won't learn the whole story in school.
Today's curriculum is written by a bunch of pseudo-intellectuals who leave out
the character, beliefs, values, bravery and morals of the founding fathers.
For a real education on our history, take them to the Washinton, Jefferson and Lincoln memorials
to see the history and thinking of these men etched in stone.
When in Washinton take them to see the original Declaration of Independence and stop off in Phladelphia
to see the Liberty Bell and the origin of the American Flag.
Enjoy.
