Our messy blueprint of freedom
Ga. students receiving copies of Constitution should study it, share it, debate it with passion

The Georgia Department of Education has engaged in an ambitious plan to mark Constitution Week, which runs Sept. 17-23. The idea is for every fourth-grader in the state’s public schools, more than 120,000 in all, to receive a pocket copy of the U.S. Constitution, paid for by donations and not taxpayer funds. Whoever paid for it, it’s a great idea that should have been standard procedure all along.
