As long as they teach it as a 'living' document, as sheets suggested.
To: Michael.SF.
as long as it present the constitution as a "living breathing document", the gang of five liberals on the supreme court will have no problem with it.

If you're liberal and believe in changing the constitution to fit your agenda.
To: Indy Pendance
You mean there are three branches of government? I thought there were just two: The Supreme Court and the U.S. Senate. I had no idea there was a third branch.

I'm surprised that any governmental body would want people to have any understanding of the Constitution.

If The Powers That Be believed in the supremacy of the Constitution as the blueprint for American governance, the size of the Federal Government would be about one-third of what it is.
Without the Dept. of Education, HUD, the National Endowment for the Arts, National Public Radio, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, foreign aid, often ill-conceived involvement in foreign wars and other affairs, etc, etc. ad infinitem and ad nauseum.....

Why not add the Federalist Papers to show the entire picture?
The democrats read the Constitution the same way they read the Bible. The Bible says homos are an abomination and worthy of Gods wrath, but the left reads it and says there's no message against homo marriage!
The right to life, to them, means the right to kill! The right to property, to them, means free government housing! The right to free speech means only they can speak!
Need I go on ????

The third is the liberal branch... :)

I would be great if this were a requirement for the Congresscritters that wrote that new law.

NO! ...
it's gold-bricking feather-bedding idiocy! "The 160 or so federal employees who filed into the National Archives' McGowan Theater yesterday for a program on the Constitution sat in plush red chairs and heard a five-piece brass band play patriotic songs. They were given pocket-size copies of the country's most famous document, and settled in for speeches from such experts as National Archivist Allen Weinstein and Deputy White House Counsel William K. Kelley."
The CONSTITUTION is not ever "given" like some trade-show gifting swag. It has to be worked for to be inherited.

They were given pocket-size copiesSome body had better check these. They could be Marxist handbooks with nothing but a patriotic paper cover!

This begs the question, is the judiciary included in this program?
