Disturbing study: 1 in 3 students favor government censorship of the press

Students: 1st Amendment Goes Too Far

More Than 1 in 3 Students Want Gov't Control of Press, Knight Survey Finds
Quote:
A new survey of 112,003 students released today finds that one in three say the press ought to be more restricted -- and 36% think newspapers should get ?government approval? before stories are published.
Quote:
Yet, when told of the exact text of the First Amendment, more than one in three high school students said it goes "too far" in the rights it guarantees. Only half of the students said newspapers should be allowed to publish freely without government approval of stories.
Who says kids these days aren't fucked up?
