What Is Being Taught?

I wonder what students in America are learning about the US Constitution. Are students taught that the framers thought it very important to make sure the Federal government was limited in its scope and power? Are they taught about the balance of powers between the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government? Are they being taught that the states and the people were to retain powers that were not granted specifically to the Federal government? Or are they taught that the US Constitution is no longer relevant today? it seems to me that they are taught that rights are granted to people by a benevolent government, not by God? It seems to me that they are taught that the Constitution is what is holding us back as a country. It seems to me that they are being taught that Americans should expect an equality of results as opposed to an equality of opportunities. It seems to me they are being taught that the government is supposed to provide for all the needs of people. It seems to be taught that the bigger the Federal government is, the better it is.
If we do not get back to instilling in our young ones a respect for our Founding Documents, we can expect our nation to continue down the road to ruin.
