In a hilariously awkward turn of events, a heated debate broke out on a “Constitution Brainwash Tour” when someone decided to call out the apparent irony of simplifying the U.S. Constitution for college students. With the fire of a revolutionary and the composure of someone about to fail a pop quiz, the critic confidently announced their disdain for handing out what they dubbed “Constitution for third graders” to adults.

Spoiler Alert: It Did Not End Well.

The host of the tour, clearly prepared for such moments, calmly responded that the simplified Constitution was for those who struggle to understand the original text—not necessarily the target audience of college students. But instead of taking the hint and retreating gracefully, the critic went full speed ahead, ready to “school” the host on constitutional knowledge.

Pop Quiz, Hotshot!

The host decided to turn the tables with a rapid-fire quiz:

• First question: What is the 10th Amendment?
  Crickets.
• Okay, easier one: What is the 4th Amendment?
  A wrong answer was blurted out, describing the 3rd Amendment instead. Ouch.

Things got worse when the number of articles in the U.S. Constitution came into question. The critic confidently stated there are eight articles (there are seven). At this point, it became clear the Constitution for third graders might have been too advanced for them.

The Knockout Blow

In a moment of pure rhetorical irony, the host pointed out that the critic had stormed in “guns blazing,” yet seemed to know less about the Constitution than a third grader. For a tour supposedly accused of “brainwashing,” the real twist was seeing who actually needed the education.

Moral of the Story

If you’re going to crash a Constitution tour with accusations of propaganda, maybe make sure you can at least nail down the basics. Otherwise, you might just become the unwitting star of the next viral “Why we need better civics education” moment.
