Constitution Day is one of the days when public schools should have appropriate patriotic ceremonies, instruction and discussions concerning the U.S. Constitution. Sept. 17, 1787 is the date of the completion of our Constitution. Our politicians are supposed to be bound by the chains of the Constitution. These were written to protect the liberties of each and every one of us. However, unscrupulous politicians have found loopholes to avoid the clear intent of the founding fathers. An informed citizenry is essential to defend our freedoms from encroachment by our government.
