American HS Students IN THE DARK About 1st Amendment : Knight Foundation Study

MSNBC - First Amendment no big deal, students say:

Science is looked on with contempt in the Bush White House, teachers are afraid to utter the word "evolution" in classrooms, and no one is teaching our children about the values that America was founded on over two centuries ago. We are living IN THE DARK.

"'These results are not only disturbing; they are dangerous,' said Hodding Carter III, president of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, which sponsored the $1 million study. 'Ignorance about the basics of this free society is a danger to our nation's future.'"
