I understand why you did it but injecting your personal political potshots into what you are teaching kids is pretty messed up. As a parent I'd be pretty pissed if my kid came home telling me that a group of community organizers worked to create the US constitution. Madison was a member of the Virginia State Legislature, not a community organizer.

It's all Good ,Community Organization actions are regulated under RICO statutes. Prior to that they were advised by an old jewish Guy out of Las vegas that liked to vacation in Havana, Cuba.
