The Constitution

Short post today. I was in a middle school classroom on Monday and the class had to answer some simple questions about a few charts and tables about religions in North America. The final question was: "How does the diversity of religious groups in North America reflect the values of the American People and the principles of the U.S. Constitution?"

Out of 6 classes, only 1 student was able to answer the question without any prompting from me. It was amazing! Most of the students had no clue what the constitution was or what it said. Not sure what to make of this but what do you say?

When should we teach our children about the Constitution? Do you what the constitution says?  Post your idea in the comments.
