The U.S. Constitution has officially been slapped with a “harmful language alert.”

- “The Catalog and web pages contain some content that may be harmful or difficult to view,” warns the full “Statement on Potentially Harmful Content.” “[S]ome of the materials presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly violent views and opinions.”
