Schools that receive federal funding are mandated to teach about the Constitution on Constitution Day (September 17). So, let’s do that. Let’s engage young people in an active study of the Constitution.
Join our campaign to Teach Truth on Constitution Day. We offer free resources to do one or all of the following:Teach honestly about the Constitution. Why it is worded the way it is, how it has been amended, and what it allows/denies to the public. Make sure students know their rights under the Constitution. These include the right to remain silent, the right to read and the choice of what to read, freedom of speech, and equal protection of the law — which applies to everyone, documented or not. Emphasize that rights are not fixed or guaranteed. Rights must be championed and protected by each new generation, in and beyond the Constitution.
Community members can play a critical role in defending the freedom to learn. For example, they can propose that their school district adopt a Freedom to Learn resolution or host a gallery walk on Ten Ways to Rethink the Constitution in a public space.
Sign up to show that you are committed to teach truthfully about the Constitution on Constitution Day and all year long.
