The United States Constitution is more than just free speech. In this class, we will explore several problematic elements of the US Constitution.

We will refer to the US Constitution and to US federal law in an age-appropriate manner. We will not discuss current politics or political opinions in this class. While we will discuss the concept of slavery, this class is not an introduction to, or overview of, the history of slavery in the United States. We will discuss the fact that slavery is included in the original language of the US Constitution, and the 13th Amendment which outlawed slavery. However, we will also discuss the fact that the 13th Amendment prohibits slavery, except as punishment for a crime. My own beliefs and opinions will not be discussed at all in this class. We will focus on the language of the Constitution. Any questions from learners that raise political issues or discussions will be gently redirected to the actual language in the Constitution, the 13th Amendment, and the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Any questions from learners regarding the subject matter can be asked orally, or can be asked in the chat, but I will answer questions orally for the benefit of the entire class.
