An education watchdog’s Constitution Day interviews on Georgetown University’s campus revealed no shortage of students who said the document is outdated.
Campus Reform asked Georgetown students, who have an average SAT score of 1460 and a high school GPA of 4.01, what they thought of the document George Washington said he would “never abandon.” The[y] overwhelmingly disagreed with the nation’s first president and Revolutionary War hero.
Some of the responses by young “Hoyas,” include:
“People definitely take [the Constitution] too seriously, it’s not 250 years ago.”
“When it was written, we were considering things that absolutely don’t apply today.”
“I feel like sometimes people use the Constitution as an excuse to not think and to not work towards progress.”
“I come from North Carolina. There are a lot of people in that area who I think take the Constitution too seriously.”
“The Constitution itself and a lot of the amendments are probably taken a little bit too seriously.”
“Sometimes we’re afraid to think, I don’t know, in more utopian ways.”
“We have to keep updating like we would anything after, you know, like, the dictionary is updated once a week.”

Yet those same words you people stretch to magically include all sorts of perversion, identity and victimization freedom are perfectly okay. Good luck with that G-Town U. Embrace the suck that is coming.
Cuz these people are brainwashed by MTV and think that the Constitution is so 1789ish.
Ignorant people say many provocative things.
Thinking means their version of how it is to be. Which will change with the wind.
Imagine what it'll be like when these brainwashed America hating robots eliminate the Constitution.
I know people throughout history have lamented how ignorant and ill mannered the younger generations are.
But, I shudder sometimes to think, that these are the people who will be running this country in about 20-30 years.
Where will we be in about 20 years? Will the constitution and our form of government have been abandoned, as liberal judges overturn laws and impose liberalism in every facet of our lives???
And will they be supported by big numbers of people, who are growing up thinking like these inane students????
Just wait till they become the government’s private property, then they’ll come to their senses.
They must be sterilized so they cannot breed.
The only question is how far out from DC do you need to build the wall and fence in the inhabitants. I think it is about 50 miles now - and that may not be enough. But it is a good start.
This generation is in for a surprise with peaceful Islam. Something to be said with taking things for granted and so accustomed to a comfortable life. I don’t think any of them are ready for it at all and everyone pays for it.
Georgetown is a Jesuit “liberation theology” run institution, not surprising. America and its Constitution get blamed for the criminal enterprise of the fascist globalist financier oligarchy. Watch this video and get some ding dong decent target acquisition:

What does that even mean? Progress towards what, and how is it measured, what are the performance indicators?
Obama’s been shredding the Constitution and there will be nothing left if Hillary gets in.
That is why the Founders included a mechanism to ammend the constitution.
They were a lot smarter and prescient than these 90 day wonders seem to think.
Until they need/want protection under said Constitution.
I agree
Lets do away with Miranda and let the cops just do their jobs
Speedy trials? Pshaw. Why rush things.
Free speech? Only if the government agrees with you.
Free press? Well we already don’t have one so why worry?
Abortion? What “right to privacy” makes doctors and insurers do that if they don’t want to
Georgetown standards for admissions have apparently fallen.
