The United States Courts of Appeals along with the United States District Courts in the Seventh and Eighth Circuits are hosting the third annual Bill of Rights Day Contest and students in Grades 5-12 are encouraged to enter before the 5:00 p.m., October 30 deadline.
I don't suppose that FWIW draws many readers from middle school or high school (although this might explain some of the comments received here and duly flushed away) -- but I would wager that a great many regular FWIW readers know teachers of students in the aforementioned grades or, perhaps, have students in these very grades consuming comesitbles under their very roofs. Get creative, people. If we can draw any lesson from the miserable political climate in our home state and country, it is that proper civic education, in generous doses, is sorely needed.
Detailed contest prompts, guidelines, and online submission form can be found at this link.
More information (summarizing the contest) may be found at this prior FWIW post.
A belated Happy Rockyversary to Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose

Charlie Meyerson's Chicago Public Square had this yesterday, but it's not
the first time I've been a day late... or, for that matter, a dollar short.
Hard...
