U.S. Kids Don't Understand First Amendment

From our
friends at Slashdot

l4m3z0r writes "This rather alarming article discusses a study
of high-school students in which they were asked about censorship,
protected speech, and other aspects of the first amendment. The results are
extremely worrisome: "Only half of the students said newspapers should be
allowed to publish freely without government approval of stories." and this
"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.".."

This is horrifying. Note the casual evil of it. If the next generation
thinks we don't have free expression, it doesn't much matter what
the Constitution says...
