Every year students put on musical programs all across our country.  This year is no different.  Except that our daughter, Kate, wouldn't participate in her program.  Kate came home from school one day a couple of months ago and told me she was mumbling the words to the songs in her 3rd grade musical. I was very puzzled because Kate is a walking musical.  She told me that she didn't want to sing them because the words were "wrong."  I couldn't imagine what would be "wrong" with songs about our Constitution.
