Have you heard about Constitution Day and Citizenship Day? Every secondary and post-secondary school receiving federal funds must teach about the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 2021. Independently, the school/university can determine what kind of educational program they want to administer for enrolled students, but they must hold one every year on the now-named “Constitution Day and Citizenship Day.”

September 17th is significant because the United States Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. Did you know that the United States has the world’s oldest written constitution, and that it was written in Philadelphia?
