The KNS says that a study reports
51 percent of high school students questioned had not heard of the day when they are required by law to learn about the Constitution.
The occasion, created by Congress in 2004, usually is observed on or around Sept. 17, the day the document was adopted in 1787.
There’s some irony for you. Congress makes a federal law regarding public education (which by the way is covered nowhere in the Constitution) that students must learn about the Constitution. Doing what it does best, our public education system then strikes right at the meaty part of the bell curve and makes sure that a healthy 49% of students actually receive the education as mandated.
Sounds about right.
Personally, my favorite part of the Constitution is “Congress shall make no law”. Ever wonder if we’d be better off if they’d just stopped there?
