When Mr. Hand is giving the class a hard time about their scores on their quiz about the Platt Amendment, he says the amendment was introduced by Senator John Platt, that it passed in 1906, and that it was an amendment to the US Constitution. He trails off when he notices that Spicoli is absent, and starts talking about his generation's fascination with truancy.The Platt Amendment was not a 1906 amendment to the US Constitution. It was an amendment to the 1901 Army Appropriations bill having to do with conditions for unilateral US intervention in Cuba. Its author was Connecticut Senator Oliver Platt, not John Platt, which Mr. Hand would know.
