Yes, the ones specific to the constitution

Because those words can be changed. They were made to be changed. They were intended to be changed.

They're not meant to be worshipped, they're meant to do their job, and change as needed to keep up with the times.

The founding fathers had their fears, and the constitution was made to repel those fears. And little by little we use their name to draw those fears side by side what they created.

They’re not meant to be worshipped

I think the central problem here is a lot of kids conflating "this is literally the ultimate law of the land" with "I have a religious reverence for this document".
