Teaching the Constitution
Thank you so much for presenting the Constitutional art programs [part of the We the People exhibition, spring Scope]. I whole- heartedly agree that the Constitution is un- known by a majority of people today. May it live within the Skidmore community and pro- vide the basis of comfort for those who ques- tion our country’s direction. It is our roots and foundation! Were you aware of the Constitutional Champions camps started in 2011 for kids in first through sixth grades that have sprung up all over the US? They’re supported by local donations, but primarily the National 9–12 Liberty Movement Project.
Our local Pikes Peak Patriot 9–12 group has
