Last year, Congress mandated that all schools receiving federal money must teach something about the Constitution to students on the anniversary of Constitution Day (the date the Constitution was signed - September 17, 1787), which is today. According to our local paper, most local schools taught something yesterday.

I think this is actually a good idea, so here are some other related links:
