That's the way it was when I went to school. We were taught to revere the Constitution and admire our Founding Fathers. Had to memorize and recite Patrick Henry's speech ending in "give me liberty or give me death."
I say this as someone who went to both public and private schools. It was the same in both.
We were certainly taught to revere the Constitution and appreciate the founding Fathers, but we didn't have to memorize any of the great speeches.
Not a single field trip to the law library in the County seat. Reading what these men actually wrote and said as recorded in Congressional meetings should compromise the bulk of studying US history. Instead, what they indoctrinate with is others saying what they said, and distorting all of it.
