Is the Constitution “Propaganda”?

New American Prophet ^ | October 2, 2025 | Dr. Jerry Newcombe

[Rev M. Bresciani]

Is the U.S. Constitution worth preserving? Of course it is. Is it worth defending, even at the cost of life and limb? Of course it is. Is it worth distributing to young and old, including in our schools? Of course it is.

Well, actually, not everybody agrees with that last part. Here is a two-year-old story that somehow escaped wide attention. It’s still relevant today because many of our elites likewise have a low view of the Constitution.

The essence of the story is this: In a liberal school board in Texas two Septembers ago, attempts to distribute pocket copies of the U.S. Constitution to public school students were almost thwarted by school officials because it was allegedly “propaganda.” Only because of the intervention of a conservative legal group were the copies allowed to be passed out after all.

To me, this is jaw-dropping. It’s as if some of these leftists were saying, “Hey, you can’t distribute the Constitution to school children, that’s unconstitutional!” It reminds me of the scene in the classic film, “Dr. Strangelove”: “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here. This is the War Room!”

California actually once required every child going from 8th grade into highschool to pass a “constitution test” or you could not advance into highschool. And it was a serious test too, you practically had to have it memorized front to back. I had to take it, it was challenging and when you were done you absolutely knew what the Constitution was.

If students know what is and what is not in the Constitution, the ALCU will have a hard time pushing its agenda.

Thank you...

All of us who served and protected the US swore an oath to that ‘propaganda’. I will honor it until I die.

The constitution defines the operation of our government. It states how things are to be done. Its purpose is not to change minds.

John J McCloy, the former president of the world bank, chairman of the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation, once quipped, “the Constitution is just a scrap of paper.”

I think "he" is an output only AI.

---- "the original poster rarely responds to other Freepers in his threads I think 'he' is an output only AI."

With respect, that is incorrect. I had quite an fiery exchange with him by pointing out he was "flogging" his website, while not giving the most of the authors proper credit. His "click here" for other articles by the same author got to his other webpages, and not to the authors' pages. To "subscribe" to his "Newsletter" collects name and email address. He is a Freeper disinterested in other articles and topics by other Freepers, and generally disinterested in responding to comments "pinged" to him.

I’ll avoid responding to him in any way. Thank you.
