[Vision2020] [Bulk] Re: Simple Song of Freedom

[Kai Eiselein, Editor]

Here's a sobering thought, speaking of freedoms.
I just read an editorial by David Solomon in the Pub Aux newspaper put out 
by the National Newspaper Association, in it he states that a third of high 
school students believe the 1st Amendment goes too far in the rights it 
guarantees. About 50 percent of those students believe newspapers should be 
able to publish freely, without government approval of their stories.  His 
info came from a study by the Knight Foundation.
What the hell are these kids learning about the Constitution???
I won't even get into cases where judges order newspapers not to publish 
stories or fine and imprison reporters.
>From the looks of it, the Bill of Rights is going to come under an even more 
vicious attack with the next generation.
