Last week was Constitution Week. Out of curiosity, I reached out to numerous school districts across the state of Alabama just to see if anything special might be planned.
Was there special time spent on discussions about the Constitution or assigning the students some homework to read parts of the Constitution?
To say the least, I was disappointed. “We’re leaving that up to the teachers,” commented one. Another stated, “We have no plans to spend any additional time.”
Intentional or not, students are not being taught the who, what, and why about the Constitution. They are being provided little guidance of its importance and how our government was designed to operate.
We have nearly lost a generation of young men and women to the “it’s just a piece of paper” mentality. Now, we can observe the results.
Cities and towns across the country are ablaze, and citizens are being harassed as they go about their daily business.
They have not been taught to respect anyone or anything that doesn’t align with the slanted mindset.
There are wonderful teachers that are doing their best to educate their students. Unfortunately, they have been caught up and dragged into a mechanism that does almost everything it can to shut down free thought and expression.
If you have students in school, maybe they were some the lucky ones who received a little more attention of the importance of that “piece of paper” this week. If not, then maybe you should ask “Why not?”
We cannot afford to lose another generation to these attempts to erase and remove what made America a great country.
Join Convention of States and let your voice be heard.
Get involved. This is no time to sit on your hands or twiddle your thumbs. Stop assuming someone else is going to fix the problem. It is going to take a concerted effort by all of us to bring back a culture of self governance.
