Old Dead White Guys

I'm interested in finding out why Americans don't spend more time focused on the Founding Fathers and their writings. I have always had an innate desire to be political and to know how my government should and does work, so I guess I just don't get it.
I can only come up with several arguments. First, they are a bunch of old dead white guys. Second, they lived in a different time with different problems. And Third, I am just passive and don't care who runs my country or what they do to me. Those are all I can come up with, all of which I have sharp rebuttals to, but that for another time.
What other reasons are there? I would love to hear input on this.
