Something else to be shocked about  
A study by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation shows that American Youth are not getting properly taught what the First Amendment means, and all the freedoms therein. Among the findings of the study are:

--> Nearly three-fourths of high school students either do not know how they feel about the First Amendment or admit they take it for granted.
--> Seventy-five percent erroneously think flag burning is illegal.
--> Half believe the government can censor the Internet.
--> More than a third think the First Amendment goes too far in the rights it guarantees.

Hm. No Child Left Behind. Hm.
