Critics are troubled by the push because the publisher of the materials, the National Center for Constitutional Studies, promotes the Constitution as a divinely inspired document.
Did they get this idea from the Jesus Constitution painting?
Tea party enlists anti-communist’s Idaho group to promote Constitution Week in public schools - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/tea-party-enlists-anti-communists-idaho-group-to-promote-constitution-week-in-public-schools/2011/05/25/AGeGa5AH_story.html - broken link)
I love how so think its so easy for any group to 'enlist Mormons' to do anything.
One extremist or a small group of extremists with ZERO clout in a vast global church are not going to influence the direction of doctrine or non-doctrinal activities.
I don't understand when people try to label Mormons as crazy or cultish because of some of their strange beliefs. I admit that the stuff about magic underwear, celestial marriages, etc. is pretty bizarre. However, I fail to see how the mainline Christian beliefs like virgin births, reanimated dead guys and dinosaurs on boats are any less insane.

That's simple: They hate and fear them.

Our underwear is not "magic." We wear it to remind us of sacred covenants we've made with God. And if a marriage that survives death and remains intact in the next life is bizarre, I'm all for bizararre.

I like the painting but I would have had the Founding Fathers holding the US Constitution and Jesus faintly seen behind and above them. Still, it's not quite as good as the one where Obama was trampling on the US Constitution.
Sadly it was not a caricature, at least not intentional.
