A lot of parents are upset with the standard/lesson that would have 1st graders needing to recite the Preamble of the Constitution. Many teachers (Some I am even related to smh) making the bogus claims that 1st graders are far too young to be able to recite such a thing. https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/preamble

These same children can recite WORD for WORD every top song on the radio or their favorite tv show though.

Society has become dumber and dumber and the amount of lowered expectations we have placed on kids is appalling. Children just as young were able to easy recite such important information and teachers (and children's parents) actually took the time to explain to students why knowing such info was beneficial to them.

Young children have already been learning the Preamble; they are capable of learning it IF they are provided the opportunity to learn it. The whole thing is only about 1 min long. https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEB&search_query=yr+old+recites+Preamble
