Tea Partiers want to teach the bible I mean constitution (same thing apparently)

Came across this
http://www.teapartypatriots.org/constitution

Patriots across the country are justifiably concerned that students in the public schools are not being taught about the founding documents which created our nation. In 2004, Congress passed a law which requires an educational program on the Constitution be taught in all public schools during Constitution Week.

In 2010, a Patriot in Florida brought the requirement to the attention of his local school district and asked what program would be offered. He was stunned to learn the school district was unaware of the law and no plans had been made to comply with it.

He suggested Tea Party Patriots mount a national campaign for 2011 Constitution Week to pressure our public schools to comply with the law. The response from local coordinators was uniformly positive: We must pressure the public schools to teach the Constitution!

Patriots should not have to remind schools to teach the history of the most important document in our country. That we have to do so is an indication of how awful the public school system has become with regard to teaching U.S. history.

We have designed a simple plan to achieve this goal. It will be most effective if we can launch a national campaign in all 50 states. 

shouldn't children be learning of the constitution to begin with


But they actually mean bible. See it links us to the NCCS (National Center for Constitutional Studies) founded by the late Cleon Skousen's (who is also the brainchild of many of Glenn Beck's crazy ideas)

I know I know wikipedia. It's just easier then linking to scanned copies of his bullshit books, which even I can't stomach.

So they don't mean constitution. They mean constitution inspired by the bible... white man's bible.
