New Warning Label for the Constitution

This has been all over the news and I figured that it was about time that I commented on this. Just in case you hadn't heard, Wilder Publications has been placing a "warning" label in the cover of its copies of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Federalist Papers, Common Sense, and the Articles of Confederation. The label states that "This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today.”

As if that weren't outraging enough, it continues on to warn parents that they "might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work."Now I don't agree with this publication in putting such a warning in there books. But many are saying that the reason the company is doing this is because to some Americans, the Constitution is offensive. This is even more disturbing to me, who is offended by our Constitution?! And why are they living in America if that is the case?! As a student of political science I have read the constitution multiple times, I have not seen any piece of material that would offend someone but apparently it does, and that is terrifying.

As previously quoted the warning label says that the books do not reflect the same values of the authors today. Well isn't that the truth. With the way that America is being run today it would help all of us out if the same principles that the founders had when they penned the Constitution were in all of the Americans who are running our governments. The amount of outrage by people across the country shows that at some level there are still people out there who respect the values that our once great nation was founded upon. This ludicrous warning label that exists only to satiate the anti-American crazies in Congress, and even some living among us. Make your outrage known!
