To form a more perfect appreciation (Constitution education day)
“We the people” will be learning more about the U.S. Constitution come September.

That’s when a little-known provision in the federal budget kicks in that requires students in schools and colleges that receive federal funds be taught about the U.S. Constitution.

While educators laud instruction about the historic document that formed the U.S. government, they’re not crazy about being told when to teach it.

“It was probably a good idea,” said Ann Bruemmer, director of arts and humanities for the Lawrence school district. “But it’s another instance where a good idea wasn’t well implemented.”
