National Constitution Day

I hadn't heard about this before today - it's pretty cool, I think. Congress passed a bill in 2004 that mandates that all schools receiving Federal money, and all Federal agencies, must teach about the Constitution on Sept. 17th (or as close to that date as possible). It's all thanks to Sen. Robert Byrd, "the West Virginia Democrat who keeps a copy of the Constitution in his pocket. Byrd inserted the Constitution lesson mandate into a massive spending bill in 2004, frustrated by what he called a huge ignorance on the part of many Americans about history."
