In response to their Strategic Initiatives article, I have one that may be a good place to start. I call it the School Preamble Initiative.
The purpose is to get kids in the schools to start reciting the Preamble to the Constitution instead of or in addition to the Pledge of Allegiance. Might as well know what they are pledging allegiance to eh?
Since the Constitution has been raised so often in the political and public debate, perhaps it is worth considering that our school kids should recite its Preamble. It is the Preamble of the Constitution which forms the actual contract the people have with each other to govern the country and its affairs. Maybe its time we teach it to our kids and learn it ourselves and begin discussing how the duties of the Preamble should be fulfilled.
