Bush indoctrination working - GoFuckYourself.com

WASHINGTON - The way many high school students see it, government censorship of newspapers may not be a bad thing, and flag burning is hardly protected free speech......

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....

The results reflected indifference, with almost three in four students saying they took the First Amendment for granted or didn't know how they felt about it. It was also clear that many students do not understand what is protected by the bedrock of the Bill of Rights.

Three in four students said flag burning is illegal. It's not. About half the students said the government can restrict any indecent material on the Internet. It can't.

I fear for society when people start thinking the first amendment goes "too far"

The younger generation supports free speech less than the older generation.

Bush and the Republicans are winning - the right wing hates free speech and they are brainwashing kids into hating it.

Young people don't know shit... some will wise up... others will remain ignorant. Don't worry they don't make policy, the only unfortunate thing is they can still vote.
