"The constitutions of most of our states [and of the United States] assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press."
-- Thomas Jefferson

It is good that these kids have an interest in the constitution. But I can not ignore that the fact, that it appears they have been indoctrinated by liberal teachers.
Liberal-see the constitution for what it COULD say
Conservitives-see the constitution for WHAT it says.

I agree with the point one of those kids made: that a lot of people only care about laws etc. that apply directly to them. This is something that really bothers me. If you don't care about the rights of others, how can you expect anyone to care about YOUR rights?

You can't claim to support the Constitution if you are against the 2nd amendment individual right of the people to keep and bear arms.

People think that the Constitution gives us rights. It doesn't give US rights.
Without the Constitution the government wouldn't have the right to exist!

It is great to hear our young talk about the foundations of our nation. It is good to hear that they not only care, but they are thinking about the implications removing civil liberties and rights. They are aware. They ARE paying attention.

I especially like the point about how the constitution is taught in school. In my 8th grade US history class (which included civics)we were supposed to memorize the rights in each amendment, but beyond trivial summeries of a few court cases, we did not really study its applications. We were also taught many fallacies, such as the idea that the bill of Rights does not apply to juveniles or that speach can be censored if it is "disruptive" (based on the speech itself, not how it is expressed).
