A recent study shows that many US high school students don't understand the meaning of free speech, and are in many cases, completely in the dark about the First Amendment. From an Asociated Press story today:
"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."
"Half of the students said newspapers should be allowed to publish freely without government approval of stories."
"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."
