It has always been amazing to me how many people venerate the United States Constitution, yet many of those same people have little or no actual knowledge about the document, its history and how it has developed into what it has become in today’s world.

People in Fishers now have an opportunity to sharpen their knowledge of the underlying legal document governing our nation.  A class, Constitution 101, will be offered beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 24, and will take place on Tuesdays, ending on Tuesday, Mar. 29. Classes are free to attend and take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the City Hall Auditorium or the Fishers Fire Department.  You must be at least 18 years of age.

Each participant will receive the We the People: The Citizen and The Constitution textbook and a pocket constitution. “We the People” is sponsored by the Fishers City Council, Hamilton Southeastern Schools and the Indiana Bar Foundation.   The class is free, but registration is required.

I have had the honor of being a volunteer judge for the HSE High School We the People team.  That experience alone has kept me up to date on constitutional issues.
