The new $621 million Capitol Visitor Center in Washington has surprisingly (*sarcasm*) gotten many key facts about American history wrong.

The new Visitor Center has distorted the Constitution. Instead of teaching visitors about the powers of government depicted in the Constitution, the center instructs visitors about the Constitution’s “aspirations.” How conveniently progressive!

See for yourself. The Heritage Foundation has put the full text, including the script of an orientation film, online.

The new center has cut key passages from the Constitution, weighing in on a long-running debate about the scope & limits of federal power by taking the liberal progressive side of the debate, envisioning broad congressional powers that the Founding Fathers never intended.

We have got to wake up to the fact that there are those in power, whether it’s in the government or in the school systems, that want to rewrite history to leave out the pesky ”limiting of government power” verbiage and the “by the people, for the people” nonsense. It sounds absurd, but it is happening in our children’s text books and now in our own nations Capitol.

Instead of focusing on what the Constitution actually says, the Visitor Center suggests the founding document is a list of “aspirations” about knowledge, curiosity and other things not actually in the text.

We need to flood DC with complaints about this Visitors Center and demand that the truth about our Constitution be displayed and nothing less.
