This post is actually a couple of days old, but it's too astonishing not to share:

My son’s high school American Government text book lists two ways to amend the Constitution - the formal two stage amendment process and the “informal process”. The Informal Process is described as “Judicial interpretation and social, cultural and legal change...” That alone should tell you the mindset of those in charge of public education.

I suppose you could argue that it would be a good thing to talk about the Constitution this way: "Yesterday, Justice Blackmun and six colleagues amended the Constitution..." But it doesn't sound like the textbook intended to blow the whistle on the "informal process."

There's lots more about education in this thread.
