This is absolutely frightening.
I've always thought that if you want to get a good idea of the current direction of the cultural evolution of a society, ask its youth.
Read this carefully, and weep:
Quote:
Only half of the [high school] students said newspapers should be allowed to publish freely without government approval of stories.
. . .
When asked whether people should be allowed to express unpopular views, 97 percent of teachers and 99 percent of school principals said yes. Only 83 percent of students did.
....
The survey, conducted by researchers at the University of Connecticut, is billed as the largest of its kind. More than 100,000 students, nearly 8,000 teachers and more than 500 administrators at 544 public and private high schools took part in early 2004.
