Copies of the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence used by students in the Anchorage, Alaska, school district have been slapped with a surprising disclaimer.
Now school officials are explaining it all was a "mistake."
According to a report from the Anchorage Daily News, images were posted online of a Hillsdale College handout of the Declaration and the Constitution, with the label attached that read, "The Anchorage School District does not endorse these materials or the viewpoint expressed in them."
A district official has a reason.
MJ Thim, a district official, explained in an email the stickers are meant to clarify the difference between "official district information" and materials from outside sources.
"This was our mistake. The request that came in wasn't for a flyer or poster and shouldn't have been processed through that system. We will be following up directly with the requestor to make things right," Thim said, according to ADN.
"The U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence are an important part of what students learn social studies," Thim wrote. "These founding documents are taught in every school and reflect the values we want every student to understand."
Hillsdale is a private liberal arts school in Michigan, and donates the booklets.
"Alaska's Attorney General appointee Stephen Cox is the treasurer on the board of directors for Thomas More Classical School, a Hillsdale-affiliated K-6 private school set to open in Anchorage next fall. Cox is also listed as a co-founder and past board president of the school," the report said.
Cox said on social media, said, "something has gone terribly wrong."
"A disclaimer saying the school district doesn't endorse these documents can only confuse students, by implying their own school won't stand for the first principles of our Republic. It raises important questions, and we'll get the answers," Cox said.
The College Fix said a student noticed the disclaimer, and showed it to her mom, who wrote on social media, "I was honestly stunned. These aren't controversial documents, they are the foundation of our country and what our students are supposed to be learning about. Why would a school need to distance itself from the very principles we are built on?
"I fully support transparency in education and just want to understand this policy better. Parents deserve clarity. If outside materials are being sent home, especially involving American founding documents, the messaging should be thoughtful and not confusing to families."

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican, is proposing a plan that would "END the mass replacement of American workers" by dumping the federal H-1B visa program, which corporations long have used to replace U.S. workers with foreigners who work for far lower salaries.
Greene made the announcement online, "I am introducing a bill to END the mass replacement of American workers by aggressively phasing out the H-1B program. Big Tech, AI giants, hospitals, and industries across the board have abused the H-1B system to cut out our own people."
She continued, "Americans are the most talented people in the world, and I have full faith in the American people. I serve Americans only, and I will ALWAYS put Americans first. My bill ELIMINATES the corrupt H-1B program and puts AMERICANS FIRST again in tech, healthcare, engineering, manufacturing, and every industry that keeps this country running!! If we want the next generation to have the American dream, we must stop replacing them and start investing in them."
A report at the Hill said Greene's plan would allow up to 10,000 H-1B visas to be awarded annually for certain positions, like physicians, but even that could be phased out.
Greene explained the visa program was set up to "fill a specialty occupational need at a given time. People should not be allowed to come and live here forever. We thank them for their expertise, but we also wish them well so they may return to their own country."
Greene charged the H-1B program is replete with "fraud and abuse."
President Donald Trump largely has agreed with such an assessment, but of late has leaned toward reforms of the system, rather than elimination.
He has taken dramatic action to address the problems, including imposing a $100,000 fee on those applying for the visas.
The Georgian said, "It's time to put American citizens first instead of foreigners first, and this has gone on and been an abuse for far too long," Greene said. "Americans deserve a future. They deserve a chance."

A plan inserted by senators into the hotly contested short-term funding for the U.S. government, which would have allowed them to sue over the actions by Joe Biden's Department of Justice to confiscate their telephone records, has hit a dead end.
The DOJ, as part of its lawfare under Biden and against President Donald Trump, schemed with telephone companies to access records of the senators' telephone calling records.
Online commentators have suggested the records were obtained because special counsel Jack Smith, running some of the lawfare against Trump, was planning to use the records in further cases against Trump had he not been elected, and possibly include the senators in some of the cases.
Smith's cases disintegrated when Trump was elected.
But some senators had inserted into the recently adopted short-term funding plan a provision allowing them to sue, "for a whopping $500,000 each," over the snooping on their records.
The provision was buried in the legislation and actually allowed senators to sue "if law enforcement seizes or subpoenas their data without proper notification."
House Speaker Mike Johnson said the House would work immediately to repeal the plan.
Johnson said, of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, "He's a principled leader; I've enjoyed working with him. We've got a great working relationship and a good friendship. He's a trustworthy, honest broker. And that's why I was so surprised when we found out about that provision. It was put in our clean CR at the last moment. I'm—just to be honest, I'm very transparent with you all—I was very angry about it."
He said House members didn't appreciate the move.
He said Thune likely "regretted the way it was done, and we had an honest conversation about that. I didn't ask him for any commitment at that time because I had a lot on my plate today, and I've been busy ever since that conversation we had early this morning."
He said he's confident of a House repeal and expects the Senate to follow.
Some of the Senate Republicans already have said they do not intend to try to make their case under the provision.
CBS reported there were eight senators whose records were demanded: Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Dan Sullivan of Alaska and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.
And already at least three, Hagerty, Johnson and Blackburn, have said they have no plans to seek compensation.
"I am for accountability for Jack Smith and everyone complicit in this abuse of power. I do not want and I am not seeking damages for myself paid for with taxpayer dollars," Hagerty said.
Blackburn added, "This fight is not about the money; it is about holding the left accountable for the worst weaponization of government in our nation's history. If leftist politicians can go after President Trump and sitting members of Congress, they will not hesitate to go after American citizens."
She said she has no plans to seek payment.

In what's being called an unprecedented step, the United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the U.S. about suspected drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean, as it does not wish to be complicit in the military strikes, believing them to be illegal.
CNN reports Britain's decision "marks a significant break from its closest ally and intelligence sharing partner and underscores the growing skepticism over the legality of the U.S. military's campaign around Latin America."
The U.K. controls numerous territories in the Caribbean where it bases intelligence assets, and for years has assisted America in finding suspected drug vessels so the U.S. Coast Guard could interdict them, sources told the network.
"The intelligence was typically sent to Joint Interagency Task Force South, a task force stationed in Florida that includes representatives from a number of partner nations and works to reduce the illicit drug trade," CNN indicated.
"But shortly after the U.S. began launching lethal strikes against the boats in September, however, the U.K. grew concerned that the U.S. might use intelligence provided by the British to select targets. British officials believe the U.S. military strikes, which have killed 76 people, violate international law, the sources said. The intelligence pause began over a month ago, they said."
Last month, Volker Türk, the U.N.'s human-rights chief, called the kinetic strikes "extrajudicial killing," saying they violate international law, and sources say the U.K. agrees with him.
While the British embassy in Washington and the White House did not respond to requests for comment, a Pentagon official told CNN the department "doesn't talk about intelligence matters."
LibsofTikTok did proffer an opinion, saying: "They don't want us to defend our nation from drug-smuggling terrorists. The UK loves coddling criminals and terrorists."
CNN also reported Canadian officials have "made clear to the U.S. that it does not want its intelligence being used to help target boats for deadly strikes."
To date, at least 75 people have been confirmed killed by the U.S. military in the strikes.
On Monday, U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that on Sunday, "two lethal kinetic strikes were conducted on two vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations.
"These vessels were known by our intelligence to be associated with illicit narcotics smuggling, were carrying narcotics, and were transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route in the Eastern Pacific.
"Both strikes were conducted in international waters and 3 male narco-terrorists were aboard each vessel. All 6 were killed. No U.S. forces were harmed."
Some initial public reaction to Britain's reported suspension of intelligence-sharing includes:
"These boats carry death, so let death beget death, and I think we can manage our own pond without the assistance of British Intel. Hell, we shouldn't trust the Brits with our intel; MI6 has been a leaky ship for decades."
"Isn't America depending on U.K. for intelligence about the Caribbean a little like U.K. depending upon us for intelligence about the English Channel?"
"This is like the NYPD telling me they will no longer monitor the area around my swingset in the backyard of my California home."
"Uhh … I'm pretty sure Britain hasn't actually trusted us since 1776. They're still a little bitter over that."

The legal fight involves a rubber-recycling company and its alleged securities violations.
But the real dispute is something about which Americans must have concern: Whether those targeted by a government action have a right to a jury decision, or if some government functionary can simply rule against them and order them to pay a penalty.
The fight is being handled by the Pacific Legal Foundation.
"The Arizona Supreme Court's decision to hear this case recognizes that fundamental constitutional rights are at stake," said Adi Dynar, an attorney for the foundation. "When government agencies act as prosecutor, judge, and jury, they violate the basic American principle that everyone deserves a fair trial before an impartial jury of their peers."
It is the EFG America corporation that asked the Arizona Supreme Court to protect the constitutional right to jury trials, and the justices have agreed.
It was a state agency's bureaucrats at the Arizona Corporation Commission that forced the Mesa-based company into unfair in-house tribunals.
Last year, the commission claimed in an enforcement action that EFG America and its founder, Douglas Fimrite, committed securities violations.
"The commission refused to allow the case to be heard in superior court with a jury, instead forcing it through the agency's own administrative process where the same agency that investigated and charged EFG also judged the case," the foundation reported.
It then was the Arizona Court of Appeals that ruled against EFG, claiming that defendants have no right to jury trials.
"This decision eliminates jury trials for a significant portion of civil cases in Arizona, undermining constitutional protections that have safeguarded Americans since the founding," PLF said.
But, it noted, "Both the Arizona Constitution and the U.S. Constitution's Seventh Amendment guarantee jury trials in civil cases where the government seeks monetary penalties. The U.S. Supreme Court recently reaffirmed this principle in SEC v. Jarkesy. Now, the Arizona Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether the same checks and balances protect the fundamental constitutional rights of Arizonans."

New York has fallen.
Trevor Loudon, anti-communist researcher and author, joins Elizabeth Farah to expose how a Marxist-Islamist alliance just captured the most powerful city in America. Together, they reveal how immigrant radicalization, global communism, and Islamic networks converged to install a foreign revolutionary as mayor of New York.
Loudon traces the deep ties between CAIR, the Democratic Socialists of America, and communist regimes in Cuba, China, and Iran. He shows how these forces used immigration policy and ideological infiltration to breach America's defenses from within.
Elizabeth Farah drives the conversation to its core, warning that this is the spiritual and political beachhead of a new world revolution, one now rooted in American soil. What began as an election has become a declaration of war against the Republic.
This is America under occupation.
And the fight for her soul has begun.

An federal appeals court has ruled that a trial court judge failed to adequately consider President Donald Trump's immunity, confirmed by a Supreme Court ruling, in a dispute created by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg that claimed Trump's description of legal fees as legal fees was wrong in the so-called hush money fight.
Courthousenews said it was a panel from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that returned the case to Alvin Hellerstein a district judge, in Manhattan.
The decision revived Trump's fight against the Bragg-driven case that also featured a number of holes.
The appeals judges did not direct Hellerstein's decision.
They wrote, "We cannot be confident that … the district court adequately considered issues relevant to the good cause inquiry so as to enable meaningful appellate review. For example, the district court did not consider whether certain evidence admitted during the state court trial relates to immunized official acts or, if so, whether evidentiary immunity transformed the state's case into one that relates to acts under color of the presidency."
The Manhattan DA has fought any review of his political case against Trump.
The jury's claim in the case was that Trump was guilty of 34 felonies for falsifying business records.
The report charged, "The jury found that Trump orchestrated his former personal attorney and 'fixer' Michael Cohen to pay $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who Trump was concerned would share details from their 2006 sexual encounter at an inopportune time during the election. When repaying Cohen, Trump disguised the payments as standard legal fees, sometimes signing those illicit checks from the Oval Office during his first presidential term, witnesses testified."
Legacy media reports often ignore the fact that both alleged participants in that encountered denied it happened.
Trump repeatedly has described the case as just another in the Democrat party's weaponization of the courts against him, not without evidence.
Trump already is appealing the same fight in New York state courts.
WND had reported on the state system appeal that the case all erupted because of Bragg.
When Bragg made the allegations, the judge, Juan Merchan, censored Trump's statements about the case. He allowed prosecutors to leave a vague "secondary" crime claim in place without any specifics. He delivered pro-prosecution jury instructions which seemed to allow a verdict without unanimity.
And all the while, Merchan's daughter was making money advising Democrats on issues that could include her father's courtroom rulings.
The basis of the most recent rulings is the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that presidents have complete immunity for actions as president, but not for private actions.
Trump charges that ruling means prosecutors should not have been allowed to say some of the things they claimed about him.
The Washington Examiner reported Trump's legal team confirmed the Supreme Court's decision on immunity "means prosecutors should have been barred from using evidence connected to Trump's 'official' acts as president in the case against him."
It was in 2024 that a jury in leftist-majority Manhattan said he was guilty of falsifying records dealing with a payment to onetime porn star Stormy Daniels, 34 counts total.
The errors made in the trial court, however, mean the conviction should be scrapped, the report said.
Merchan, a donor to a Democrat cause, in fact, barred some of Trump's defense evidence, including statements that appeared to exonerate him from Daniels herself, censored Trump's speech, delivered pro-prosecution instructions, and more.
"One of the mistakes some legal critics believe was committed during the trial involved allegations that the New York district attorney's office, led by Alvin Bragg, never committed itself to what the second crime was. Rather, his office theorized that the crime could have been a New York tax violation, a federal campaign finance violation, or a New York election law violation," the report explained.
The law violation brought by Bragg is a two-part crime, meaning it depends on violation of another statute, and the prosecution never clarified that. That means some members of the jury may have assumed one law, or another, leaving their verdict not unanimous.
"The court permitted the jury to convict if some jurors believed only that President Trump had conspired to violate FECA, while others believed only that he had conspired to help others commit tax fraud, and still others believed only that he had conspired to help others make false statements to a bank," appeals court filings said. "Due process and Section 17-152 do not permit a conviction based on such a haphazard 'combination of jury findings.'"
At sentencing, Merchan spent seven minutes complaining that he was limited in his sentencing, then gave Trump an unconditional discharge, allowing for no fines, jail or probation while continuing the felony convictions.
Merchan, whose daughter is a consultant who was making money off of her father's multiple rulings against Trump, claimed "extraordinary" legal protections handed to the president of the United States required him to hand down a minor sentence that Trump would allegedly not have received without being reelected.
Merchan, in extraordinary fashion, allowed a wide range of inflammatory testimony to come into his courtroom against Trump. A long list of legal experts charged that the case never should have been created by Bragg. Merchan, in fact, inexplicably told the jurors their verdict didn't have to be unanimous.
The "offenses" actually were misdemeanors until Bragg theorized they were part of the furtherance of another, unidentified, crime, and that made them felonies. Experts called Bragg's machinations "legally creative."

Democrats and other leftists across America have been unleashing rage rhetoric with foaming-at-the-mouth episodes of dysfunction in recent months.
Calling President Trump "Hitler" and his fans "Nazis" no longer seems to be enough.
Now there are insults and sometimes demands for physically impossible actions, even threats.
And the infection has spread even to mostly Republican Montana, where one political candidate, Haley McKnight, seeking to be a city commissioner there, oddly thought her campaign would be enhanced by a vile, vicious verbal assault on Sen. Tim Sheehy, a Republican.
Editor's Note: Be aware of offensive language from McKnight.
On social media, commenters responded to McKnight with:
"Imagine running for public office and thinking death threats via voice mail is part of the campaign strategy."
"I don't think she gets invited to a lot of parties."
"This voicemail raises issues of potential criminal threats, harassment, and civil liabilities, especially, given McKnight's public role as a candidate."
And, "We're gonna need a bigger mental institution."
Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, who has a book addressing the issue, "The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage," commented on the current trend among mostly leftists for "unmitigated hate speech."
McKnight hopes for Sheehy, death, cancer, more death, and yes, more death.
Turley noted in Virginia the Democratic candidate for attorney general, Jay Jones, admitted that he previously expressed a desire to kill a political opponent and his children.
McNight's rant include: "Hi, this is Haley McKnight. I'm a constituent in Helena, Montana. I just wanted to let you know that you are the most insufferable kind of coward and thief. You just stripped away health care for 17 million Americans, and I hope you're really proud of that. I hope that one day you get pancreatic cancer, and it spreads throughout your body so fast that they can't even treat you for it."
She then descended into a "litany" of insults about fertility, Sheehy's children, and threatened the senator not to "meet me on the streets."
"I hope you die in the street like a dog. One day, you're going to live to regret this. I hope that your children never forgive you. I hope that you are infertile. I hope that you manage to never get a boner ever again. You are the worst piece of s*** I have ever, ever, ever had the misfortune of looking at … God forbid that you ever meet me on the streets because I will make you regret it. F*** you. I hope you die…All that you have done since you have gotten into power is do s*** for yourself."
Turley noted that McKnight's response was that her rage was "righteous" and she blamed "conservatives" for making public her threats.
She claimed, "I was responding to some horrible policy with some justified rage." And she blamed the senator for not responding to her call.
"I would hope that if Sheehy was so rattled by my voicemail, he would have contacted me instead of leaking my information to conservative news media the night before an election. It feels like a cheap shot. I'm one of his constituents, and you know, this message is nothing that I'd say to my grandmother or in front of any children, it was meant for Senator Sheehy alone."
The Montana Free Press said McKnight, who wants to be on Helena's city commission, said her "rage" was "justified."
She claimed to the publication she didn't really wish the senator "any harm."
In fact, she now has accused the senator of trying to "bully and harass" her.
Sheehy spokeswoman Jack O'Brien said, "We hope Ms. McKnight gets the help she clearly needs."
She has been described as a "progressive" and records show she's donated money to a Democrat.
Officials confirmed police had been notified.

A new internal report regarding the British Broadcasting Corp. confirms that its officials lied about President Donald Trump when reporting on the Jan. 6, 2021, speech to a crowd of fans.
That was the day that some of those fans walked to the Capitol to protest what they viewed as the wrongful election of Joe Biden.
Some broke the law by entering the building when authorities barred them. And a few inside vandalized parts of the building.
They later were pardoned by Trump.
But according to the Daily Mail, a new "damning internal report" confirms that the BBC "manipulated" statements "to make it appear as though he encouraged his supporters to break into the Capitol."
Michael Prescott, was an independent adviser to the BBC for years, and sent a dossier to its board last month, the report said.
The documentation accused the BBC, which is paid for by taxpayers in the U.K., of having a widespread bias against Trump, on the Gaza war and on the transgender debate.
"Prescott explained how the BBC – often described as the world's 'most trusted' broadcaster – 'completely misled' viewers during an episode of the program Panorama which aired a week before the election by showing the president telling supporters he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to 'fight like hell.'"
The analysis revealed that Trump actually said he would walk with them "to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
He ended up not being allowed by Secret Service to walk with the crowd.
The network created Trump saying things he "never actually said" by editing and splicing footage of his speech, the report said.
The memo's author warned BBC chief Samir Shah of the very dangerous precedent created by the Panorama claims.
"It is now understood that Prescott's report is circulating among senior figures in the British government," the report said.
Donald Trump Jr. said, "The FAKE NEWS 'reporters' in the UK are just as dishonest and full of s— as the ones here in America!!!!' he wrote on X."
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in the report, "'We have Britain's national broadcaster using a flagship program to tell palpable untruths about Britain's closest ally. Is anyone at the BBC going to take responsibility – and resign?"

Legendary actor Harrison Ford, best-known for his roles in "Indiana Jones" and "Star Wars" films, has developed a full-blown case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, calling the president the greatest "criminal in history" who "scares the s***" out of him.
In an interview with the left-leaning British newspaper the Guardian this week, the 83-year-old Ford launched a scathing attack on Trump, saying the commander in chief "doesn't have any policies, he has whims. It scares the s*** out of me.
"The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. [Trump] knows better, but he's an instrument of the status quo and he's making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a handbasket."
"It's unbelievable. I don't know of a greater criminal in history."
Ford will be at Chicago's Field Museum this Wednesday to receive a conservation leadership award, and he blasted Trump for ignoring so-called climate change.
The president exposed climate change as "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world," in a speech to the United Nations in New York last month. "If you don't get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail. You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you are going to be great again."
Ford is blaming natural disasters on climate change, saying: "I knew it was coming, I have been preaching this stuff for 30 years."
"Everything we've said about climate change has come true. Why is that not sufficient that it alarms people that they change behaviors? Because of the entrenched status quo."
The actor told the Guardian he was hopeful that Trump's fossil fuel-dominated outlook would not prevail.
"He's losing ground because everything he says is a lie," Ford said. "I'm confident we can mitigate against [climate change], that we can buy time to change behaviors, to create new technologies, to concentrate more fully on implementation of those policies."
"But we have to develop the political will and intellectual sophistication to realize that we human beings are capable of change. We are incredibly adaptive, we are incredibly inventive. If we concentrate on a problem we can fix it most times."
During the 2024 presidential election, Ford produced videos of himself endorsing the Democrat ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
