Never let it be said that the discourse of American exceptionalism has gone out of fashion. Though I might object to the phrasing "far more exceptional than ever before"

Anyone have a model - or thoughts - they'd be willing to share about an undergrad course on the Constitution: not on constitutional law as its conventionally taught, but more on popular constitutionalism/constitutional memory?

my students in the last decade have become teachers, barristers, lawyers, civil servants, midwives, ICU nurses, journalists, accountants, academics, advertising execs, museum curators, TV producers… because we give them broad skills. If I had to train them to do *a job* they’d all be historians.
employers often complain about this to universities and: tough shit! don't whine that you can't be bothered to train your workers! do your job!
