My daughter said one of the social studies teachers at the high school actually dressed up as the Constitution and roamed the hallways and parking lot with a bullhorn shouting “Happy Constitution Day!” and passing out copies of the Constitution. lol!

Surprised they weren’t arrested.

Meanwhile, the constitutional professor in the oval office maintains radio silence.

My mistake. He used Constitution Day as an opportunity to pimp his immigration policies:

“Each year, thousands of candidates for citizenship commemorate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day by becoming new American citizens. These individuals breathe life into our Constitution by learning about its significance and the rights it enshrines, and then by taking a solemn oath to “support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America.” In so doing, they voluntarily accept that citizenship is not merely a collection of rights, but also a set of responsibilities. Just as our Founders sought to secure the “Blessings of Liberty” for themselves and their posterity, these new Americans have come to our shores to embrace and impart the fundamental beliefs that define us as a Nation.”

That’s very cool. My daughter, who’s in college, told me today that someone gave her a copy today as well. There’s a revolution going on and it’s long overdue!

I think our founding fathers would be proud. I hope so anyway. :)
