Happy Constitution Day
On Monday, Congress OK'd H.Res. 686, which recommends that all high school seniors spend a week in September studying the Constitution. Way to go, Congress! If you paid attention, you'd recall that schools receiving federal funds must already teach about the Constitution each Sept. 17 (Constitution Day). And state curriculum guidelines mandate much earlier study of the Constitution. But passing bills on the subject makes you look good. Sort of. Except to folks who abhor federal intrusion on education standards.
